Ok well im going to get my Heatshield painted i see that their are two bolts on the top and one in the bottom. Also see i will need to remove the oxygen sensor. Im just wondering if their is anything else to remove before i go forward with it. If i remove the oxygen sensor will my check engine light come on?
Car Info:
96 Prelude Has OBD II
Automatic
F22a1 motor stock.

 

No and no.

 

Why would you remove the o2 sensor?

 

Which heatshield are you referring to? The one on the cat (#5 & #6), or the one that is bolted to the bottom of the car that runs from the downpipe/flexpipe all the way to the muffler (#27, #28, & #30)?

 

Sorry i am removing the exhaust manifold heatshield the one in front of you when you open the hood with the image of a hand with a line across it.

 

just unplug the connector

 

What connector? The upstream O2 sensor is in the downpipe.

Just unplug the sensor like everyone said. After you put the heatshield back on just plug it back in. It should slide off over the oxygen sensor would be my guess.

lol it won't throw a code unless you drive the car.

 

O2 is in the downpipe, just unbolt it and pull it out

 

No, it's not. Look at the pic in my link. That's his car.

 

Then just unplug it and pull the over off.. to easy! You take the shield off to change the O2 sensor anyways

 

are we serious? is this a serious question...3 bolts and unplug a sensor

 

other sad part about this thread is he is "going to get it painted"...it's a heat shield paint it yourself.

 

Give the lad a break, he can do what he wants.

 

yeah you're right. i still think this thread is a joke
