I've seen old gas become like gum and clog up everything in the tank and pick up lines. But that was a few years old gas. 6 months should be alright.

[Davids92Accord]

blah check engine light came back on

code 1, 43.

need to double check wiring; right now it's running towards the intake manifold and drops under neath it to the bunge. Long suggested zip tieing it somewhere higher so its not resting on the engine?

i have noticed after people have splice into the o2 sensor wiring, most of the time they will keep getting a cel for it, not sure if the connections are bad or if it just messes up the o2 sensor for some reason.

i would solder the connections instead wilson, and heatshrink them, and try again, if not them a new o2 might be need

[ikayto]

bleh, rechecked my wiring, it's fine. I think it's because one particular wire needs special care. The white live wire for the o2 sensor has dual wires that are insulated from each other one copper that's insulated with silver strands. I think I need to isolate each strand w/ it's own wire and hopefully it'll solve my o2 cel problems; going to also solder all the connections. If this doesnt work, going to change out the o2 with one of davids lol

oh yea i'm getting 260miles a tank instead of my usual 300.
that's 18.5mpg instead of my usual 22mpg.
damn o2 sensor making me run riiiiiiich.

If you hook me up with your flushmount, I'll drive over to your house, fix the o2 problem, and give your car a nice tune up.

Need a good Tune UP! Anybody, interested?!?!

Hello fellows, I live in the Palm Springs, right outside of the Inland Empire, still Riverside County. Anyways, I got a 90' EX 5spd Coupe, and i need a tune up. Anybody down for a half Saturday job?? I have a erratic idle issue, but if you've been around our CB7's this is nothing new. I need someone who is very knowledgeable and has the skills to get errrr done! I would purchase anything that needs to get replaced. I am looking for a hook up price, for there service of course. We can work out payment if its cash, or something i have you might need. Like i said, i got issues with my car now, and need to fix them quicker then what it would take me to get it done. Willing to drive to your spot, and get it done there.

I would recommend Jesus or Joesue.. I had Joesue check my oil, i mean change my oil pan gasket/oil pan and his work is top Notch.. Joesue might be the best choice since he is in Banning/beaumont.
