Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace an upstream O2 sensor on this 1998 Honda Civic with the 1.6 liter 4-cylinder engine. It's the same process on these Civics from 1992 to 2000. The items you'll need for this are a new upstream O2 sensor from 1AAuto.com, a 7/8 inch O2 socket, and depending on the condition of your old O2 sensor, you may also need wire cutters and a regular 7/8 inch socket.
Right here, is your upstream O2 sensor. You want to just pull the wire from that bracket. Then you want to push on this tab, and just pull that harness free. Then, wiggle it off that bracket. Now, using an O2 socket, you want to put that over your upstream O2 sensor. Feed a socket extension down into place, and using a socket wrench, try to just break that free. If it goes, good. If not, you'll have to go to Plan B. Plan B: take some wire cutters, clip the O2 wire. It didn't work, so we're using a regular socket, 7/8 inch deep socket with a large breaker bar. The drawback to the O2 socket is that since it has that split in it for the wire, it will spread apart if your O2 sensor doesn't come out. As you can see, we're able to break it loose with the regular socket. Then you can just pull that out.
On the left, is your old O2 sensor; on the right, is your new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical; they're going to mount exactly the same. Take your new O2 sensor and twist it in by hand. Then put your O2 socket down into place, and the extension, and just tighten that up. Clip your O2 sensor back into that bracket, and slide the clip onto that other bracket. Reconnect your harness, and if it looks like this, you're all set.

In this video I have a couple of oxygen sensors with me. While there are some aesthetic differences here, the wire lengths are a little different, the actual body and tip of the sensor are a little different, the threads and gasket are the same, and on the other end the connections are actually the same. I can plug these into either position on our vehicle. But if I had to ask you which one's upstream and which one's downstream, you probably can't tell just from looking at them. That's true of most oxygen sensors. The way you determine whether or not an O2 sensor is upstream or downstream is all done visually.
Your oxygen sensor position can be determined relative to your catalytic convertor. As the name suggests, upstream sensors will be located upstream or ahead of, in front of, above, closer to the engine than your catalytic convertors. This means that they see the exhaust gasses first. They then go through the catalytic convertor and to the downstream oxygen sensor, which will either be located in the catalytic convertor like our vehicle here, or after the catalytic convertor to monitor the gasses coming out of the cat and make sure that it's being efficient relative to the readings of the upstream O2 sensor.
The other determination you need to make is bank one versus bank two. Determining which bank is which can be done by looking at a picture of your vehicle's firing order. Whichever bank contains cylinder one is going to be bank one, and the other one, regardless of whether or not cylinder two is in it, is going to be bank two by default. These banks are true of V engines like V8s, V6s, and flat engines like Porsches and Subarus that have individual banks.
On inline four-cylinder engines, as long as they have one exhaust manifold like a Jeep four-liter or a four-cylinder Honda engine, you'll only have one bank with an upstream and downstream O2 sensor. There will be no bank two on the engine.
On our vehicle here, this is the passenger side, which we've already determined from the firing order is bank one. We have our upstream sensor here closest to the engine ahead of the cat. Then we have our downstream or sensor two here inside of the catalytic convertor. This could also be located somewhere after the cat. Here I have my two sensors for the vehicle. While they are aesthetically different, we can now tell this is my upstream sensor because it looks just like the upstream sensor I have up there. This is my downstream sensor. Now that we know which one's which, we can order the right part, correct the problem, and fix you up right.
