Default kpro help! check engine light flickering.

ive been running kpro for about 6 months and have been having this awkward CEL problem. Its been doing this for about 3 months but as the title says, the CEL will flicker.

At one point I was throwing a CEL for an emissions(?) problem (it had something to do with fuel sensors?).I ended up turning off my secondary o2's and that fixed the problem. but since then, everytime i fall into the vtec crossover, it just starts flickering and it never turns completely on!

has anybody ever had this problem?

thats knock.....the flashing cel = kpro telling you that the knock sensor is reading knock, one flash = one knock.....

I strongly suggest you do some reading over at the hondadata sight...

ive never had a problem with knocking, but if it occurs through a small amount of the vtec band, shouldn't that be normal?

and whats the likelihood of it being a bad sensor
