Check engine light question ?
My son put a flow through cat on HIS '98 Accord and after
one day the check engine light lit up. Assuming this is an O2 Sensor issue, is there anyway to correct the light being on all the time? A higher temp O2 Sensor? or...? -- **:::::>>:§«:*=3F`³=3F³=3F`*:»§:<<:::::** .·°~ §LëAzZ=3F WëA§ëL ~°·. **:::::>>:§«:*=3F`³=3F³=3F`*:»§:<<:::::** {ô¿ô} WrOnG NuMbEr RoCoCcO, yOu .·°~ §LëAzZ=3F WëA§ëL ~°·. |

Check engine light question ?
hey
its probably a faulty o2 sensor you can first do a visual check to see if its plugged in or even there ... then just a scope to check it out just replace it ..·°~ SleazzyWeasel ~°·. wrote: > My son put a flow through cat on HIS '98 Accord and after > one day the check engine light lit up. > > Assuming this is an O2 Sensor issue, is there anyway to > correct the light being on all the time? > > A higher temp O2 Sensor? or...? > > > -- > > **:::::>>:§«:*=3F`³=3F³=3F`*:»§:<<:::::** > .·°~ §LëAzZ=3F WëA§ëL ~°·. > **:::::>>:§«:*=3F`³=3F³=3F`*:»§:<<:::::** > > {ô¿ô} WrOnG NuMbEr RoCoCcO, yOu .·°~ §LëAzZ=3F WëA§ëL ~°·. |

The o2 sensors are there to determine if the gases that enter the cat are coming out CLEAN. High-flow cats dont always get things clean enough. Depending on where you are, you might be breaking certain laws too. 'Curly' |

Let me try again: You need to retrieve the error code before any serious diagnostics can be performed. You cannot "assume" anything. Places like AutoZone will read the code for free. The MIL is just an idiot light that indicates that the engine's computer has recorded at least one of a couple hundred possible errors. It's basically meaningless until you get the code read. For all you know, it has nothing at all to do with what your kid put on the car. However, if the code is P0420, then the new cat is probably poor quality, or your son has likely left an air leak somewhere in the system. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Thanks, I'm not a mechanic, so I have no freakin idea( pretty obvious ). I'll have him bring it down to Autozone to have the code checked.

Thanks. why??? if the oem cat is not causing flow restriction, and i'll bet you it's not, wtf would you kludge the vehicle like that??? if you want the vehicle to perform, get it ported and polished. don't **** about with the input controls that make the vehicle perform properly. you /do/ know that if the ecu's not getting correct input, it doesn't give correct output, right? |
