Did you reset the ECU to clear the previous code?

Code 43 is usually set by a lazy primary O2 sensor (they have a service life of 75-90k miles and decrease pretty fast if the car was running rich or burning oil/coolant).

What kind of O2 sensor? If it wasn't OEM, did you have to wire it up or did it come with an OEM connector?

It's more than likely your problem. Bosch O2's don't mix well with Honda ECU's - they seem to respond too slowly thus causing the CEL you have.
