Solving Code 65
Well heres my problem. I installed a new exhaust recently and we ran into some problems. The bolts to the cat where rusted to hell so we had to cut them and then drill them out. Well it seems like the cat part is threaded so the bolt was threaded to the cat thats why we just couldnt knock it out.
In the process, we had no high speed drill so drilling took a while. We used WD40 to sort kinda lube the holes so it would go faster. In the end everything was solved and the install's complete.
Now here's the problem. I reset my ECU to let my ECU relearn the catback and its throwing a CEL. I did the paper clip trick and pulled a code 65. The code is something about secondary O2 sensor fault. Im guessing the spraying of the WD40 got onto the sensor and messed it up?
To solve this problem would I need to simply just replace the O2 sensor or is there a cheaper way to go around it. My car is currently at 114k so im assuming the sensor was already near death.
CLIFFS: Installed exhaust, got a CEL, pulled code 65. How do I resolve it?

Maybe after all the WD40 burns off, the sensor will start reading oxygen levels again, instead of WD40 levels. Is the engine running bad? If not, I would wait a couple of days running the car, and see if it re-sets after that.

Re: Solving Code 65 (BLKFLSH)
O2 Sensors are nasty devices to service. They generate their reporting voltage through a chemical reaction with the exhaust aided by a catalyst.
If you've gotten crud on the sensor, it's likely best just to replace it.
Before you do, though, make sure that you didn't disconnect/cut any of the wires leading to it.
Btw, your car specs would be handy ^.^

Re: Solving Code 65 (ParoXoN)
My bad guys. Im used to posting on the V6 board.
I have a 98 Accord V6.
As for waiting for it to burn off, Im a dumbass and pressed for time. I have to echeck my car soon and need to find out or else imma be screwed. GOD DAMN PROCRASTINATION!
The engine is running perfectly fine. My CEL before hand was only for the EVAP and that was it.
