Default RE: throwing a code

So you guys were right. I had it checked out and the code went from bank 2 sensor 2 to bank 1 sensor 2. So the one thats messed up is the passenger side one now. Should I buy another used 1 from someone, or should I just go and buy them brand new for 60 bucks. I'd prefer not to make my own and splice them in??? because I dont have a lift and its very difficult for me to squeeze underthere, even with just jack stands. I'd rather just plug something in.

Is there a chance of the light never being turned off?? Someone on here said sometimes MIL eliminators dont work.... I dont want to buy them and have them not work, especially since the light has turned on before I put them in. Help help.

Your signature says you have an off road H-pipe, with an o/r pipe you need either MIL eliminators or have the rear sensors disabled via a tuner/tune. Buying new O2 sensors will not extinguish the SES light.[/align][/align]Your car is new enough that eliminators may not work, however you can make your own for $5 and find out--see my DIY MIL eliminator page for more about this...[/align]

Ya I know man, thanks for the help. You must have not read the rest of the thread though. I had the pipe put in and then the light came on so I put in some used MIL elminiators I bought from someone on here, but we figured out one of them wasn't working. So thats my story. I didn't mention replacing the sensor. My question is should I buy a new set of MIL's, or try to find just one more used one to replace my one bad one.
