Car Sitting for 4 months
Hey guys so my car was sitting for 4 months but I let it run periodically. I changed a ton of things on the car before it was put away:
-spark plugs & wires
-motor mounts
-water pump
-battery
-alternator
-timing belt
The car ran mint but after I started driving it again I got CEL Codes for 02 sensor and a misfire. I figured it was something to do with it sitting, may be moisture in the oil, fuel injectors clogged, so I poured seafoam in the oil, Techron in the fuel tank, reset the ECU and it came back on. Anyone have experience with this?

Re: Car Sitting for 4 months
replace. o2 sensors go bad. go to napa and get a denso o2 sensor. denso makes the oem o2 sensors. so therefore your getting oem quailty at 1/3 the cost. mine cost me $76. and honda wanted $280 for it
