Default Check Engine Light Help

I just installed my DC Sports Header when the check engine light came on. I am fairly sure it is the O2 sensor that is setting off the light. I was wondering if an OBD-1 h22 cpu would solve this problem. Or what is a wide band O2 sensor and would it help, or could i use some sort of aftermarket computer like the AEM, MoTeC, or TEC3 units. Any help would be great.

You blew your Primary heated O2 sensor. Go buy a new one. Sorry.

It happened to me too, no other way around it, just go shell out the $220.00 for a new one.

It is probably your O2 sensor, but you should double check to be sure: http://www.hondaprelude.to/main_checkengine.html

The best solution to your problem would be to fix the problem.

No, you should not be getting code 45 if the Greddy electronics (which I am assuming you are using) are wired correctly. What year is your lude?

2000 is the reason why you are getting code 45. You are running too rich. The Greddy kit was only designed for the 97-99 ecu.
