well, i cant plug the o2 up cause i dont have a cat, i dont think its it, cause i never had a problem with it before...on my motor i have an o2 that plugs in the header and one in the cat..

 

So basically you do not have any functioning O2 sensor right now?

I don't have cats, but my O2 sensors are on the pre-cats.

 

i have one on the header and one thats been hanging for a year =)

 

is it throwing a code?

 

yeah but they same two codes for a yr haha

 

since you don't have a cat anymore, you shouldn't have one hanging right? why was it hanging before? check the one on the header? guess i need to examine your car ( for going back to work yesterday before I came over!)

 

you took to long...i never had a cat..there is no need for the 2nd o2 maybe a lil loss of power

 

so why not remove it than let it hang there? Goddamn Honda owners!

 

I dont think a bad o2 sensor will make the car go into limp mode.
It would however make it run rich.

 

not the downstream one.....the only reason its there is to show the ECU the converter is functioning properly...you can install anothe rbung in the exhaust, put the o2 in it, and resistor it down to the right specs, to fool the ECU the converter is still there. as for the VTEC solenoid....there are problems with them sticking after siting...change your oil and see if that helps. varnish deposits will gum the solenoid up, preventing it from operating. also, pull codes..if its an electrical problem....there is usually a code in the ECU for the signal problem. lemme know what you find...
