My car is throwing a code 41. SGT said it was due to the 02 sensor on the header, but it is in place and the plugs are connected, so what could it be? thanks. should i try and reset the ecu to see if it still throws the code

ok, reset the ecu, no change, still throwing 41

 

Is the sensor new or did you check it out? carbon deposit?

 

i didnt take the sensor out and take a look at it, could quite possibly be the case, can i clean it up or do i need a new sensor

 

If all the wiring to O2 sensor is good, then you'll most likely need a new OE Honda O2 sensor. You can use a torch blower to get rid of the carbon deposit, but nothing beats a brand spanking new Honda O2 sensor.

btw, are you running mods that made your A:F ratio a lot richer than stock?

 

ok, so a blow tourch will work? how much is a new one? yes, the car was running very rich for a while before i had it tuned

 

I believe new O2 sensor is quite expensive, but don't skimp out on it (read: Bosch or some autostore O2 sensors don't perform like OE Honda one). I think it's priced between $150-$200. Definitely not cheap, but it's a must.

 

dammit im going to try and do the blowtourch on it
