PYITR821

did you plug both o2 sensors in right?

you don't have them swapped do you?

PYITR821

oh, and check your fuse box under the steering column for a blown fuse...I had this same problem and it was a blown fuse.....it was the alternater Sp sensor.

yes, check your fuse box....look on the lid for alternator sp sensor and then check the fuse.

EE_Chris

More than likely it would. Which fuse is it?

1hotcivicSi

damn i bet its my speedometer fuse becuase that isnt workin either GREAT!!!!! there is also a sqeaky noise when i spike the throtle ...... what the **** is wrong anyone know

1hotcivicSi

anyone eles have any ideas?????

PYITR821

replace that burnt fuse you found in the fuse box!!! that blown fuse will cause your speedometer to jump around by itself and cause the check engine light... I am telling you, I already went through this with my civic hb. My civic was throwing like 4 different codes... like VSS (vehicle speed sensor), o2 sensor, cylinder #4 missfire, ELD (electrical load detector).....I got all these codes over one burnt fuse.

Did you replace the #15 fuse in your under dash fuse box? It's a 7.5a. Does the light still come on? Does the fuse blow again?

1hotcivicSi

i will replace it tomarrow and when if this blows again what happend?? now my car wont start i replaced the battery and new altenator ...... whats up after that

PYITR821

you might have a short somewhere then....check your wiring.

damn but my vtec doesnt pop did urs????

PYITR821

if your vtec doesn't work then you have other problems as well.....what all did you do to your car? You said you replaced your alternator and battery but those would have no effect on your vtec. There has to be something you are not telling us.

1hotcivicSi

replaced fuse no more engine lights thanks a lot .... now i think i tightend my altenator too tight or sumthin i have no idea but its makin a loud sqeak any ideas??
