Re: what CEL code is this? *vid included* (blinger)
after watching the video it looks like #67 which would be
Catalyst system Efficiency Below Threshold
malfunctioning or defective catalyst system
Did anyone else get 67 in their counting?

Yeah, it usually means it's being restrictive - this happens when it's clogged - buy a new one...go for a high flow or universal though as OEM cats are hella expensive.

Re: what CEL code is this? *vid included* (blinger)
Good luck on this code.
I had a 98 Prelude that gave this code. I replaced the secondary O2 sensor (Denso) and the code came back in a day. I got a high flow cat and the cell came on during the drive home from the muffler shop. We looked at the stock cat and it wasn't clogged. Oh the car was stock too.
After getting my 97 Civic, a month went by and I got a CEL. I laughed, it was CEL 67 on this car too. This car is boosted though and runs fine with the Cel as did the Prelude. I'm not wasting the $ on this one. Once a month I check the codes then just pull the radio backup fuse for a min to reset it.
A friend at work bought an Acura with an intake and fart can and he got the CEL 67. He reset it, and went to a different gas station and hasn't had it come back since.
I think this is pretty common on Honda's. In fact I keep getting notices in the mail from Honda saying that they will fix a Emissions problem for free if I had one, but I don't see them doing so once they open the hood and see it's boosted LOL
Again. Good Luck on your repair. Keep us updated.

yah my computer hates mpegs so I'll have to trust that it really is CEL67.
in an untouched car (meaning no recent swaps or touched wiring/exhaust/engine/etc)
primary cause of CEL67 = bad secondary O2 sensor
second cause of CEL67 = bad wiring
third cause of CEL67 = bad cat
Typical cheaper high flow cats will always set this CEL since they tend to not work very well. (if at all)
I've fixed several cars with this CEL. It's not as difficult as some make it seem. But it can be a pain at times.
