Bought Ca Car In De

[artbuc]

After confirming I needed a new A/F Bank 1 Sensor 1, I bought a Denso aftermarket from RockAuto. When it came I checked heater resistance to make sure I had the right one. Got 15 ohms instead of 1 indicating I had Sensor 2. Rockauto talked with Denso and said all was well. I called Denso myself and found out my RX300 was a Calif Emssion car even though I bought it brand-new in Delaware. I checked the emissions sticker under the hood and sure enough I have a Calif car. This means I need the $165 sensor instead of the $83 one. I don't remember the salesman telling me the car was built to CA standards. So, if you need a new Bank 1,2 Sensor 1. Make sure you know if you have a Calif vehicle.

PS Bank 1 Sensor 1 is a snap to remove even if it is tucked between the engine and firewall.
