I posted a msg on ere a while ago now about this but cant seem to find it again, but I have been 2 honda 2 get it checked out.

I mentioned that it had been on a couple of times now n all times when I was goin 100mph+ hehe (obviously I didnt mention that 2 honda) anyways they got it on the computer n told me that 1 of the oxysensors near the midpipe/catalyst was maybe faulty. they have now got the light off n cost me bloody 70 odd quid jus 4 that Sad but at least I know know y the light comes on.

oh n also if this light was 2 come on again I would have 2 fork out 340 odd quid 2 replace the part Sad

hm..anyways jus 2 let ya know the situation guys!

cheers jimmy

Mines used to do that too. It is just that our cars run rich over 5500RPM.

Just take out fuse 6 for a min and then put it back and start car without touching throttle, let it idle for 5 mins it should be fine.

If the O2 sensor really is broken it will come on during normal driving.

aye thats right carboncivic1.4, when mine 1st came on, I was drivin back home from carlisle, was goin bout 100 ish then I slowed down 4 some a*s car then it suddenly came on n I was shittin Sad got home n dad checked a few things not sure what (he use 2 be a mechanic) u found out my radiator reserve tank was empty n topped it up wit jus water left it 4 like a few hrs n drove reasonably for a short while n light went off.

after that, it has been on 2 or 3 more time since then n each time I jus left it or topped reserve tank up even tho it didnt look empty n drove normally again afterwards n was fine again.

it was jus last week it came on which hadnt 4 a longish while now so decided 2 talk it 2 honda 2 finally get it checked out n found that!

Halfloaf, u mean in the engine bay? what else does fuse 6 do? do u think thats what honda jus did n charged me 70 odd quid 4 Sad

hi jimmyH, when a car comes in with the engine light on we don't just pull a fuse out we plug our honda lap top into the car and run a diagnostic check on the car and retrive any fualt codes that come up and then from that fualt code we can look more indepth into the area of the fualt and advise, repair and clear down the light.

When I get my CEL on I connect the laptop to OBD connector and it is always the Primary O2 sensor high voltage(Running Rich). It is always at high speed and always lights just as take foot away from throttle suddenly.

Since setting up my intake pipe resonators (one at 5500rpm and one at 6000rpm) my light doesnt come on. Even though I have put some of the fuel back I had previously taken out with the E-Manage.

Mark I didnt mean taking the fuse out as an alternative to proper diagnostics but the symptoms are pretty similar to what is really just an anoyance and not a real fault. Running the car until the CEL goes away tends to put the have a bad effect on the MPG.

mark, no no I didnt mean it like that in a bad way like, jus wondering! Sorry I didnt mean it bad! I know it is more complex than I said it is!
I got the print out n that from them n sayin that it was the oxysensor. I was jus sayin about Halfloaf takin out the fuse, I jus didnt think it was that simple. Sorry again!

halfloaf, yeh I was worried that when it did come I would lose some good mpg's, I therefore didnt wanna switch anythin on like the air con n stuff or even open the windows hehe maybe its jus me bein paranoid like.

anyways it should be ok for long while now, I wont be goin that fast again Smiley hopefully hehe

Thanx Jimmy

M@_Ings get your car connected up to an OBD diagnostic computer and make sure it isnt something else cos lots of faults can cause the light to come on. Best to check!

£12 is very reasonable for a diagnostic check.

This ebay Auction
is for an O2 Sensor that should fit ours. It will require a bit of wire splicing though. This socket would be handy too.
