I took my Insight in to the local Honda service center and they have informed me that the "Check Engine Light" is being caused by error code 1164. They have advised me that the O2 sensor needs to be replaced and they'll be happy to do it for $386 + tax.
I have searched through existing forum topics for information related to the replacement of the LAF Sensor, and from what I gathered there is no 3rd party sensor available and must be a Honda part. (Those that did try a 3rd party sensor, found out that it wasn't the right part.)
thehondapartsstore.com (part # 36531-PHM-A01) has it listed for $210.63.
Has anyone purchased this part from them?
Are there any other less expensive options?
How easy is it to replace? (From what I saw under the hood, it looks pretty straight forward.)
Thanks in advance for your timely answer,
Ajay
