Replace Upstream Oxygen Sensor - 2006 Kia Spectra EX

[@JustAWorms]

not only is this helpful with my own kia spectra, but it's also asmr so i can take a nap

[@epperton]

Glad it was helpful. Not sure about the asmr though are you being serious? Just curious

[@Frank-je1kl]

I'm almost positive that you bought a BREAKER BAR not a TORQUE WRENCH.

[@epperton]

Frank you are right. I’m not that great with tools

[@DiaryOfALesbianGamer]

Bruh you saved my butt with my new car.

[@epriley891]

Hey, thanks for the video! Would you happen to know if the regular Kia Spectra has the same o2 sensor as the EX? I'm assuming so, either way I bet they're in the same place at least.

[@epperton]

Howdy! I can't say for sure, but I assume so. If you go online to AutoZone or O'reilly Auto Parts you could cross check parts between the two models.

Thank you

[@uniteentierly2773]

video m Kia Spectra... Will a 2001 exhaust manifold fit a 2003 block? Mod to simple upper catalyc ? Anyway, thanks again man.

[@epperton]

Sorry, that I don’t know.

[@Slow_Gixxer]

What was it doing for you to notice it gone bad?

[@epperton]

Truly The first thing was that I wasn’t getting as great of gas mileage. Very significant loss (I use a fuel app to track all that). Then the check engine light came on. After having it checked for free at Autozone they said it was one of the oxygen sensors. Price wise, the upstream sensor was cheaper so I started there. Light went away but then it came on again several months later. Turns out the one I bought on eBay was crappy (it was very cheap). Had to invest in the OEM replacement which I found on eBay but for about $120.

So my check engine light came on then it started stalling on me a little. Auto parts store told me it was the 02 sensor I hope they are right.

[@epperton]

Christopher Gibson9mm Godspeed!!

[@darrenvogel8096]

I just replaced my upstream o2 sensor on my 2007 kia spectra ex and I'm still getting a p0420 code, it's a 180 dollar sensor too so that sucked buying it to have it not help at all.

[@reysalgado8077]

What about 209?

[@Anxietywilnotwin]

Will the check engine light go off by itself after this?

[@epperton]

Nelag Mine did. If it doesn’t you could probably go to a local auto parts store and have them reset it and see if it stays off.

[@Anxietywilnotwin]

@@epperton ok. I did mine yesterday morning but it still hasnt turned off yet and its making me anxious lol. How long did yours take to turn off? Thanks for replying!!

[@epperton]

Nelag In my case it only took a short drive around if I remember right. Also the code on the check engine reader said it could be upstream or downstream for me. Thankfully it was just the upstream. Another thing to think about is that the first time I did it I bought a really cheap part off eBay and it went bad after several months. It wasn’t until I got the OEM part from Kia where it lasted and hasn’t caused me any issues since. I would drive it a little more and then take it over to an auto parts place to rescan it. Best of luck!

[@Anxietywilnotwin]

@@epperton ok thanks!! The part I got is from NAPA auto parts, $79. Hopefully its a good one. Ok I will take your advice and drive it a little more and wait and see. Quick question, if I check it with a scanner should the problem still show up on it or nothing shows up even though the light is still on?

[@epperton]

Nelag not sure on you question. I think it would still show up if the light was still on.

[@Truckerraf]

Was this for CEL p2195

[@epperton]

Rafael Zamora sorry Rafael, I’m not sure what that is

[@Truckerraf]

N'haatik Check Engine Light code . My wife has the same car and the code reads bank one sensor one. And I’m pretty confident it is the same one since it has. Only one exhaust.

[@epperton]

Rafael Zamora yeah there is only one upstream sensor on the 2006 Kia spectra

[@Truckerraf]

N'haatik thank you

[@leoevo05]

I believe it is for p2626

[@robertsevans437]
