what up people, first off let me thank yall for any help u may be able or willing to provide....

ok, i bought this honda 6 months ago. it wouldnt hold a charge at first so i changed the necessary starting with terminals and cables. than the alternator and than the starter. finally, i resolved that issue. than radiator hoses started to bust one by one... i changed all that were punctured including the one under the distributor. now, setting the timing again went fairly well...it idled at around 800 rpms warm, i was content. so i had a broken ram intake, i figured this would be the last repair and id be good. i installed a cold air intake and after a few days the check engine light lit. now the car starts rough but runs and the warmer the car gets the higher it idles peaking at 2500 rpms. it also does the patented jumpy reving, like im tapping the gas rythmically... so i figured its the o2 sensor but i want to be sure if im gonna spend 200 in parts on both sensors. any ideas? i know, lengthy but i like to be detailed... thanks for any help

 

CEL turning on means the engine computer detected a problem. The computer stored a code that will you to track down the problem.

Get the code. See the instructions in the DIY section on how to check CEL codes. Post the codes on here.

 

thanks man, i appreciate the input... had no internet for a minute there. ill get the code even if i have to buy an obd1 scanner. autozone does 96's and up for free, my car had to be an f'n 95. well, ill prolly be on wit more questions i did have one more, ever change an o2 on a 94-97 accord? im almost posy theres 2. havent taken the time to look for em yet since snows been everywhere for the past month. if u have any knowledge before i start googling, itd help thanks again

 

The easy way to get the codes is jump the connector and count the flashes, check the DIY section for the procedure and how to read the "blinks".

There are two O2's-pre and post cat.....get the codes first. There are other things that can be going on to cause the issue you are having.

 

95 4-cyl has only one O2 sensor. OBD-2 begins in 1996 with 2 sensors.

 

thats what i figured, i think i know where it is as well.... im gna get under the hood to try an find it today. thanks man, greatly appreciated as always...

 

It is about 2~3 inches in front of the cat....and yea I spaced on it having two, the really sad part is I actully own one just like it
