why don't you jump the jumper and find out what code it is then diagnose your problem.. your iacv could be throwing a light or vtec isn't hooked up and it's throwing a light (not saying that's the problem) but just don't jump to conclusions thinking it's the o2 sensors...

you can put the O2 sensor in the cabin, so you wont throw the light, when that light goes on you lose 2 deg timing, thats what i heard from acura

This is what you can do but you may have to do this every 3 months.
Take tin foil and wrap your o2 sensor then wrap it with metal wire.
Place the tin foil back in the test pipe and reset your ecu. You light will not come back until your tin foil burns away.

Ive done that;kind of a pain in the ***;having to keep taking it out and replacing the foil,.on a early post 1 guy suggested plugging the second 02 sensor in the bung in the header,and wrapping the first o2 sensor out of the way,im thinking of trying this, has any body had any luck,....

if you put some cat material aroun the O2 sensor it will work without throwing a code. but that means that you have to hollow out your cat to get some material. or you can do a P28 ECU. thats what i did. its up to you
