I'm pretty sure the O2 sensor malfunction is something that is semi-common with Accords around 1997, and I'm pretty sure I even got a flyer from Honda notifying me of the problem and offering a free repair at any Honda dealer... well that fell by the wayside and I probably lost that document... I need to get it fixed now... can't find any recall info on the Net...

Hoping someone can confirm that this issue was recognized by Honda and can be dealt with for free... and if not, how much I should expect to pay for a replacement?

 

Ya there is a problem with the 94-97 accords referring to the OBD. it's about misfires and stuff. i have the notice in fron tof me from the guy who had it before me. idk if he even did it but i don't have a check engine light on or anything so i'm not gonna worry lol.

 

ok thanks man...

i called up honda cust serv like i should have right from the beginning... evidently this is all covered under the emissions warranty up to 150,000 miles. Free repair/replacement as many times as necessary up to that mileage.

 

just for that part right?

 

nah, actually the emissions warranty covers just about everything that has to do with the emissions system in your Honda... I'm not sure if this just applies to the body style between 94-97 though... I called up the number off of Honda.com, got a rep on the phone with only a couple seconds wait, if you want to get the info.
