Sorry man.

Vx's have 5 wire O2 sensors. You're gonna have to get a NGK 5 wire O2 sensor. They are expensive though. I've heard alot of people say that a bosch 5 wire will work, but they won't. All they do is make the cel light go off, and they don't last long at all.

If you care about getting 40+mpg then get the NGK.
If you care about the cel light going off and nothing else then get the bosch.

how many mpg will i be gettin now? or with the bosch?

 

[sincivic_vx]

i don't know. There are other factors. There is a forum called gassavers.org, alot of people on there know alot about vx's you should check it out.

Change your tranny oil. If you're saying its hard to get the tranny into gear, its most likely not your linkage or bushings. The most common mistake is people who need to add or change their tranny fluid.
