My 98 Civic with the D16Y7 and 5 speed needs its pre-cat oxygen sensor replaced. I looked around on eBay and found a direct fit one for a good price:

98 99 00 HONDA CIVIC OXYGEN SENSOR 1.6L DIRECT FIT NEW on eBay.ca (item 120708079779 end time 05-May-11 13:09:04 EDT)


I don't really understand that compatibility list. Can someone tell me if it will fit my car?

 

You're this one on the list: HONDA CIVIC 1998 1.6L-GAS ENGINE-D16Y7 ENGINE DESIGN PRE CAT

Pre-cat is before the CAT in the engine bay area. POST CAT is after the CAT..which is underneath the car, about where the front row seats are.

So...it will fit....But coming from Ebay....50/50 chance. You should see what's up with Amazon, they're pretty dependable.
