First you must know that replacing the O2 sensor is what is needed to repair the problem indicated by the check engine light. Then you need to be sure that you replaced the right sensor( most vehicles have more than one). If all this has been done give the computer a chance to readjust, it usually takes about 50 miles of driving before all the different systems are ready to report properly.

is the check engine light on? if so it may be the coolant temperature sensor...happened to me...if it doesnt turn over at all try the starter or the battery
There is not one sensor. All the ECM sensors are tied to the check engine light.
Check the integrity of the wiring. Determine if the fan motor is burned out. More likely, the sensor has malfunctioned. Unplug the sensor (engine off) - the fan should come on when the ignition is turned on. If it does, the sensor is bad.
That is what the check engine light is for. It informs you of a failure.
There should be a second sensor, located near the exhaust manifold. One snesor controls the fan, the other controls the gauge.
If it is bad the check engine light will come on and set a code for that particular sensor.
Yes, an unplugged sensor can cause a check engine light.
check coolant temp sensor, the computer is still running on open loop, doesnt know engine is cold, unplug sensor, it should run the same, do you have check engine light on ??
replace the bad sensor and it will turn off.
The fan will not turn on till your vehicle is at operating temperature. Check it again when the engine is hot.
How can I check the ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) sensor on my 1991 HONDA PRELUDE SI 2.1L
