Just wondering if it's common to have the oxygen sensor replaced ? My check engine light went on and after further analysis by my mechanic that was the cause if the problem ! He told me it's pretty common fir these mazdas ?

I had one go on me last summer. A few of us have had o2 sensors crap out.

really a CAI would do that? but i thought after the install disconnect/reconnect the negative terminal forces the system to relearn the proper mix

doubt it. I'm completely stock, and had the primary O2 sensor die at 105k km.

Aftermarket and cheaper if not under warrantee

and nothing but trouble

stick with the OEM or NTK which isn't a lot cheaper than OEM

I've been running a Denso and haven't had many problems since installing it.

Mine crapped out after 122k. Car is much happier now that it's been replaced (did it at the dealer, who was reasonable about it!)

that's fine too... denso makes the OEM sensors
