hey guys, need some expert help from some of my HT buddies again.
I had a cel 41, primary 02 sensor heater. I replaced the 02 and reset the ecu. Started the car up a little more than an hour later and still threw cel 41. I've triple checked the wiring and all is good. Replaced the 02 again and same thing. I need some help as this has caused my car to run in "open loop" mode from what I've researched.


98 GSR - Turbo
obd1 jumper harness
tuned on hondata s100 (p06)
3" turbo back

Car ran absolutely Perfect until now. Its not my DD but I would like to get it back on the road. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

just run it in open loop like everyone else does that has a tuned car. because that closed loop is going to jeperdize your engine

 

would this be whats causing my car to sputter or bogg under acceleration?

 

still need help guys...............

 

ecu i was there 3 months ago did the same thing u did .....

 

running with a CEL is not the proper way to have it run in "open loop" because your car goes into "limp mode" once the CEL is on


try getting your alternator checked out. i vaguely remember a similar problem with an integra when i was working at acura years ago. my boy was trying to fix a CEL for the o2 and one of the journeymen told him to check the alternator because if its not giving off enough voltage the o2 sensor wont get the right amount of volts and throw a CEL.

im not sure if that'll fix it but its worth a shot. GL

 

Thanks DB1_559 and gutted. I will try checkin the alt and as far as the ecu I need to find one. I'll let you guys know what happens........

 

Just plugged in a new hondata p28 and.................NO CEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
