Double check the work. Are the O2 sensor(s) connected.

It would also help if we knew what year, engine and model this is? The crystal ball is on the fritz and I left the service manual at work so I can't fix it.

Is EML same as Check Engine Light? If yes, there should be a code stored that would provide guidance. See DIY forum for guidance on extracting obd1 codes.

Fewer abbreviations would help, but what year is this accord?

good luck

Was the down pipe and cat OE or are these some "upgrade". Werid that that is was not on before, O2's did go back in the correct positions (on the US models there are two).

As TX said, if you can get the codes that will def help.

Add the last line of info "2.0 litre SE, TYPE R, V-TEC UK MODEL. REG W735 RGF OR 1999 MODEL" to your signature and set the option to always disply your signature...that way you will never forget to let everyone know what you have....
