i recently bought my car wit a f22a6 in it, and swapped it out for a f22A1. but my check engine light came on. and im running rich in the 5000 to 6200 rpm range. i read up on it at the store and i got a 91 f22a6 02 sensor wit a 92 f22a1 motor. would the o2 sensor be the reason for this?

Pull the CEL code and it will tell you if it's the o2 sensor or not. Code 41 or 43 will be pointing to the o2 sensor.
The sensor itself is the same between engines. The difference is the length of wiring and the plugs. If the wires were extended or a new connector spliced on, the sensor's resistance may have been altered. What exhaust manifold is on the engine? Is it the F22A6 or F22A1 manifold.
As for running rich... I assume you know this by looking at an A/F meter? The narrowband sensors that we have in our cars don't really provide enough data to be useful with one of those gauges. They're not much more than a pretty light show.

how do i pull the code and i don't have the plug in to read the code. and i know im running rich cause i can smell raw gas out my muffler. i got the f22a6 manifoldComment

Did you bother reading the "read this first" sticky at the top of this section? Of course you didn't... because that's where you'll find out how to pull the code.
Might want to take a look at that, as well as the rules for this forum.

I came upon this thread and made this account just to say you're an asshole, Deevergote. A self-righteous, elitist, know-it-all, snob. I hope you're more friendly and approachable in real life. Also, that you don't care about what people think about you in real life like you do on here...as I hope that "I'm a real son of a bitch" attitude only comes out when your fingers hit the keyboard.Comment

When you did the swap, did you swap the ECU or the IM? The PT6 for the A6 has a more aggressive fuel map than the PT3 for the A1, so you're dumping more fuel into an engine that's not getting enough air to make that fuel useable, therefore a rich gas wasting car.
Throwaway - Deev owns the site, I have a feeling you're not going to be welcome here and that you also didn't read the site rules or anything else that would keep you from receiving a permanent ban. Deev's comments didn't warrant anything like the childish name calling and display of the very things you accused him of being. Good luck,
you may have just screwed yourself off the best site for the 4th gen Accord and the F series and possibly the H series engine.
