i know im new, but please help a girl out guys...i kinda have a problem.

few months ago a friend of mine installed a fuel/ratio guage in my del sol...we didn't like it so we took it out. after that my check engine light would come on...mainly when i was in stop and go traffic. On the interstate it was fine and wouldn't come on. Thing is for the past say 2 months...it hasn't come on at all, but im still getting really shitty gas mileage. Is the o2 sensor the prob? im guessing it is...could it just be unplugged or could i need a new one?

thanks for any help you guys can give me

 

if you unplug it, the cel will always be on and you will still recieve shitty gas mileage, i know their pricey, if you dont have the money buy a bosch universal and wire it in using the old o2 harness, mine works great!

 

bosch eh? how expensive are they?

thanks for the advice

 

the one boshe makes for honda is about 70 bucks..and before you go buy a new sensor...check the wire you spliced. You may have just damaged it to the point where a clear signal isn't making it through.

 

or you can get a universal bosch unit for like 29 bucks and as said above splice in our wire
