I tried it and it didn't work. Drive the car for xx miles and the CEL came on. So I bought the ECG Sim Box. If I can recall someone posted that it only worked for GMC cars???

For a simulation of secondary O2 sensor. So you can run a testpipe.

I tried running an O2 sim on my Civic and it gave me nothing but troubles. I ended up just converting to OBDI, which is better anyways.

Get an OBDI computer from an older B16 Del Sol. I believe it is a P30, and a wiring harness. Or, you could use a chipped P28.

according to the directions provided at this site http://home.insightbb.com/~niedejb/o2.html He says to put a resistor in-line with the ground wire and a capacitor parallel to the signal and ground.

Is that right? Shouldn't the resistor go in-line with signal instead of the ground?

Honda ECU's dont like o2 simulators. and when i had mine it made me run lean one day and horribly rich the next day. i ripped it out. Not worth it in my opinion.

I don't see how that's possible because from what I understand, the secondary o2 is not used to adj. fuel curve?

Does it really not mess with fuel settings? because as soon as I installed a test pipe my O2 sensor was messed up and it messed with my engine I thought it was fuel but.... maybe not
