Is it a stock or aftermarket sensor? Throwing any codes?

 

it is a Borg Warner sensor and the check engine ligh is on
i cant check it thought i dont have the green plug thing

 

GO GET AN OEM SENSOR......

 

damn
colud there be other thing possibally wrong?

 

would it matter if the motor is JDM?
do i need a JDM sensor?

 

seriously get an oem, or a direct fit replacment. It sounds like you are using the one that you wire into the honda harness. This is NO GOOD, the o2 sensor works on 1/2 volt of electricity, any lack of quality in the connection and cause a varience in signal great enough to make the car run poorly

 

u should check the code and stop guessing, considering you haven't run your car in 6 months, anything could happen in that amount of time.

Chiovnidca
you the man!!!
got to wait till friday to do it sense i am away at school

 

i am starting to think i might be the timing
when my friend and i installed a new motor in his bug the timing was way off my car is kinda running like that
what do you guys think
but i did not touch the motor so i dont know how the timing would be off. any possible explanations for this?

Sorry, but the OEM sensors are a complete rip-off . . . . The $60 universals are the exact same thing, just take a tiny amount of care when you're wiring it up.

Besides, when you first start the car up, it's not looking at the sensor - it's in open-loop operation. The symptoms remaining with the sensor removed supports this. So something else is going on - poor timing (either cam or ignition) could easily cause it, but check the code first and go from there.

 

yea i ran out of thime on sunday and going to check codes and timing first thing on fri you guys are the bestest

This is very true, if it is running poor at a cold start you most likely have another problem, could be a vaccum leak in the intake mani, check to make sure that a line didn't get cut during install

 

yea
well i was running open intake

"93" civic, right? The wire color at pin D4 should be brown. Just backprobe that pin with a paperclip or something and connect the other end to ground.

 

ok gonna try that now
