there was supposed to be ALOT of sarcasim in there... The car has been great other than what i do to it... brakes, tires, and thermostat in 2.5 years... not bad... i did blow up a perfectly good motor... but this motor is running even better.

I just wish i wasnt having it all at once while i'm sick.

Check the lower rad hose - make sure that is hot, that is where the t-tsat is. I'd replace that, and the rad cap, and flush the system out w/ honda coolant (premixed, add no water).

why are you replacing the o2 again? If they are going bad like this you have some other problem.

Just get OEM t-stat and rad cap from the dealer.

what i should have said is i killed another one! cause i didnt replace the one that blew up in the only motor... but that one went bad and now this one went bad, but then again it was off the new motor and that had been sitting a while.

In my experience, the generic brand track auto type oxygen sensor suck and will not last. The one I got from them lasted a few months. I monitor my o2 sensor voltage with my techtom, so I know when its dead. I only use bosche now, which is what the OEM nissan ones are. Autozone sells these for a much better price then the dealership, around 60 bucks for my application. Running extremely rich for extended periods of time, or leaded gas can kill an oxygen sensor pretty quick. So yeah, be careful about buying crap parts.
