Ok, I got my new car a few weeks ago, some of you might remember my post about the car bogging and not being able to take off with the a/c on. Its a 1.6 single cam in a dx, and the car still has the dx ecu. I am getting the right ecu as soon as the guy I got the car from gets his new ecu for this car. I am having more problems now, When its cooler out in the mornings, (this week had some 60 degree mornings) The car tends to run rich, act stumbly, and the idle fluctuates when I come to stop lights, much like I have seen on my roomies Accord when the TPS went bad. There is also a hesitation when you take off, It takes a second or two for it to pull hard. I am totally new to Hondas but my friend told me how to jumper and get the codes, Only thing my car is giving is a code 41 which I think is something to do with the 02 sensor, I have an exhaust leak right before the cat, would this effect 02 reading? Anything to help me figure whats going on?

 

Also when I did the jumper I noticed my car had a blue plug, in the how-to it says 96+ had a blue plug?

Sounds like you need to go back to the guy you bought it off and ask him WTF he did

 

a lot of your problems seem like they will b fixed with the new ecu. i would wait to see what the new ecu does b4 i would get into the car. best of luck with it

 

Well I am friends with the guy I bought the car from, He only had it 5 months for a daily driver, and the guy before that I also know, never drove it. This car has had many different swaps in it before I got ahold of it, Im just trying to learn all I can and fix alot the probs to make a fun daily driver. I already love this car, and I used to be a domestic driver haha. Also there is some random wire hanging from the backside of the motor near the exhaust, all the wires on the 02 are connected

 

bump?

 

Now its bogging down sometime when I go to take off without any a/c. Tap the gas a few times and I can take off. Guy told me the reason theres a blue plug is because one of the previous swaps was done harness and all, Im going to do plugs and wires and switch out ecu and see if its still running like ****
