Debbie: You run the risk of posioning the catalytic converter with the O2
sensor Tango Uniform. The sensor tells the Fuel Injection system how much
fuel to dump into the cylinders. With the sensor out, you run the risk of
too much fuel and overheating the cat. This makes it much harder to pass
the smog inspection when due. I would take the precaution of getting a
precheck before hooking up for real when you go for the next smog
inspection.

> Hi! I have the same problem with my '88 CRX. I understand from the
discussion that this has something to do with a bad O2 sensor. What I
didn't get out of the discussion was, is this a bad thing that has to be
repaired or just an annoyance? This light has been on in my car for a few
years now...thanks!

Civic turns on during normal driving, say for instance, driving down the
Sunol grade and lifting off the throttle or sustained throttle lift slowing
down for traffic and the light comes on. It happens almost daily since I
installed the header. Far less frequently when the exaust was stock. Doesn't
run any differently, just that annoying light all the time. Any one have
this problem with their Honda or Acura? Thanks in advance -Don
