I'll give it another shot. Hopefully today.

 

Ok, I was able to fix, clear the check engine light problem with the o2 sensor. I pulled the plug on it and sprayed it out with degreaser and dried it out. It seems to be working fine for now.

I also took my rear Abs sensor off and cleaned it all up, it seems to be fixed for now as well.

My problem now, is when I had the rear tire off, I had to really struggle to spin the tire hub. I'm not sure if it was the caliper or a possible wheel bearing issue, but it definitely is dragging way too much. . . .

 

After a longer test drive tonight...... the ABS sensor came right back on.


My biggest issue right now is that instead of transmission fluid leaking.. I'm getting a rather big oil leak from the back of the motor somewhere. I wiped it all down, but really can't seem to pinpoint the leak location. I can see wetness all the way up to just under the "injector rail assembly"??? At least, I think that's what it's called.

I took some pictures to help explain this, but not sure how they turned out.

 

I am at a loss how to explain this, but the leaking seems to be coming from deep underneath this injector rail. Right on the back of the engine block.

 

It was tough getting my phone down behind the engine, but here's the best one I could get.

 

The oil pressure sending unit is above the oil filter. It is also above the metal pipe from the water pump. It has a one-wire connector with a rubber boot that is probably hardened plastic by now. If the boot is filled with oil or there is oil around it, then that is the likely source of the leak. Its a common problem. You can search on here for more details.

 

Is that a tough fix? I just hope I can nurse it along this week, as I don't have a lot of time during the week to work on it....

 

It is a pretty simple fix. Unplug the sending unit. Use a socket to remove the sending unit. Clean up oil around the threads. Use a little bit of RTV on the threads. Screw in new sensor.

You will have to put the car on jack stands. The sensor is high up on the engine block, so it will be hard to see.

You should buy a special oil sending unit socket, because you can damage the new sending unit using a regular socket. The sensor costs about 15 dollars.

The common diy threads on top of the gen tech help forum has an online shop manuals thread. The honda-tech link has a 94 shop manual that details the procedure. I think it too me 30 minutes to change mine out.

 

You can rent that socket for Free at your local AutoZone by the way..

 

FREE is good!

Can I also buy this sending unit at a parts store like Autozone or Parts America? Or is it dealer only?
