Default 2012 accord help

I have a 2012 Honda Accord EX 2.4L K24Z3 Engine model,

the car has a O2 sensor (i think) on its intake, would i be able to replace the stock intake with a cold air intake without having error codes up the ***?


Also, my mechanic told me that before i start doing anything to my car i should get the ECU replaced with a performance ECU and tuned however, finding a performance ECU has proven to be impossible, even finding a ECU computer that works with the 2012 accord has been impossible. Is there something im missing?

You should keep your car stock until warranty is expired.


good luck

There is no O2 sensor on the air intake. There is a Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor. Most aftermarket intakes designed for the specific model will have a port to install the MAF sensor on it.

There are currently no aftermarket tuning of OEM ECU, aftermarket ECU replacement, ECU chips, etc. available for later generation Accords (i.e., 7th and 8th generation).

There are no aftermarket chips, ECU, etc. available in the U.S. for the 8th generation Accords.

IIRC, in some other countries (e.g., Australia), there is a company that made performance ECUs for their country spec. later generation Accords. However, none for the U.S. Accords.
