Default Is a secondary 02 sensor necessary?

A while I was sick of having all the problems with my car, so I had a diagnostic done on it, and the 02 sensor code came up. I spent over $300 having that bought and installed (since I tried myself but failed). After Crappy Tire installed it, they guy told me I have no secondary 02 sensor. Is it necessary to have? I don't know why mine would be missing. I haven't had anything done in the last year that would cause that to have been removed.

i'm not a pro on this, but i can speak from what I see under my car

i got a 94. yours being a 95 is also OBD1, and it only has a single O2 sensor (infront of the cat). OBD2 vehicles have 2 O2 sensors (infront and after the cat), so u shouldn't have a secondary sensor.....

If i'm wrong, anyone else, please feel free to chime in.

lol. You guys are funny. I guess I never thought about it that way... it did cost me $100 to get installed there because I couldn't the old one off myself, unfortunately.

So, the official word is that I am only supposed to have 1, right? Just getting a sure answer...

you would have just one, pre catalytic converter. Ive got a 1995 Integra thats from California and even it has just a single 4 wire O2 sensor.
