Fuel Supply System is what the book calls out; but trust me there is a loss of translation in the code description. Check all the basics, the O2 sensor is reading "unburned" oxides. As in, the engine is running rich.
Do you have any performance or idling problems? Aftermarket crap? Fresh NGK sparkplugs? Any other codes?

I am not sure how one can get injectors cleaned? They say that we are to replace injectors every 100K miles?? Any opinions?

my code 41 came up once in a while after I replaced my o2 with a bosch. I am thinking of replacing mine again with honda oem o2. and I have not replaced my injectors yet (they are orignal and with 184k miles on them).

any comments here?

my car was running fine for 2 days and again the engine light came one with the same code 43. i put in a bottle of fuel injector cleaner. the car was a little rough when driving, i think its time to get my injectors cleaned.
