Usually, when that happens, it's an oxygen sensor issue. Not 100%, but often.

Pull the CEL error code, and it will tell you what the problem is. If it's 43, that's most likely your o2 sensor.


The CEL code will tell you what's wrong.

yeah deev is right usually its the o2 sensor problem but its not always the issue i know nothing of the CEL codes but im sure hes right

I'm not even sure I'm right... he has to check the code before anything can even be close to certain (and even if the code says it's a bad o2 sensor, that still doesn't necessarily mean that's the entire problem)

thanks deeve an everyone else for feedback but 92accordkidd with this plug your talking about do i have you unplug it or it should be hanging,also deeve it might just be the 02 because when i got the car the exhaust from the cat back was all rusted that would be a factor correct.

[310accord]

You just need a special socket. It's easy to do.

Did you see the "sticky" thread that said "PLEASE READ HERE FIRST"?

yeah... the information you need can be found in there. This is a VERY common question to be asked, so we made the answers very easy to find... so we don't have to tell everyone step by step 3-4 times a week how to do this!

[310accord]
