ok, for about the past month i've been goin over my car checking the wiring and all for good connections....after drivin and gettin the car warmed up (93 civic dx w/ 95 obdI GSR engine), its bogs like hell after 4k....the only CEL i get is after i've driven the car a long time and its a code 23 (knock sensor), and i only get the CEL if its really hot outside...i read in a post on here somewhere that was archived about a knock sensor being "heat soaked" and made the car bog down really bad...anybody ever heard of this? or any suggestions? i've already changed plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter, used injector cleaner....anything would help, thanks.

 

come on guys, this is where i turn for this stuff, lol.

 

with code 23, the car will never run right. just fix that and you will be alright.

the wiring is good for the sensor, so how much is a new sensor?

 

did you check that if the wire on the plug is on the same side of the sensor? i got code 23 at my first swap because of that.

 

no, its a bitch to get to, but i'll check that also...

 

a knock sensor is like $20 bucks from a dealership

 

its easier to take the sensor out and check it with the plug. good luck, if thats it, then just take the wire out of the plug and put it into another space.

 

alright, thanks guys, i'll check it tomorrow, any more suggestions are more than welcome...want to figure this out once and for all.

 

i think its more than 120 buck.

 

ok, thats cool...so if i fix this it should cure all my problems? god i hope you're right, i'm runnin outta **** to check.

 

If it's the knock sensor, and you don't mind not having it, you can use a chipped P28 computer....

 

i've thought about that, but doesn't a chipped P28 not look for the o2 sensor either? i have an a/f guage and i'd like to retain that...that may be a dumbass ?, but ya gotta learn somewhere...

 

The p28 does see the O2 sensor, I have had one go bad before and it threw a CEL.

 

ok, well i guess theres a route i could take then...i'm gonna go turbo in the future sometime, would there be a downside to gettin this ECU? don't you use a socketed p28 with hondata anyway?

 

They modify yours.

 

oh ok, gotcha

 

ok, i checked my knock sensor and the wiring and its all good....now what could it be?
