Icon2 Re: Could seafoam ruin my relatively new O2 sensor?

Could the car run without the O2 sensor? Would the smoke from the seafoam comes out of there as an exhaust leak? I still have the old O2 sensor but that's kinda of a hassle.
Thanks.

I thought getting the cat warm up helps pass easier. How could it negatively effect the cat efficiency?

Re: What's with the new STAR smog check in CA?

Well, I was just wondering how could the test be so good in 2007 and be so bad in 2011? If you look at the mileage, I haven't driven it that much and keep it clean and well maintained. Just wonder...

Re: Brake lamp warning light

Guys, there's only one brake light on the dash. The other one is the brake lamp light behind the car symbol on the dash. The brake lamp light has nothing to do with the brakes.

Hey guys,
I got my 2.3CL knuckles for both sides. The Ebay seller would not sell just hubs/bearings. I guess they are too lazy to remove the hubs/bearings alone.

Icon3 Re: What's your battery voltage over night?

Starter contacts? On alternators? Lol. I think Honda use lots of Mitsuba starters. So for these you have to replace the solenoid.
