Those two codes are for the front (41) and rear (65) oxygen sensor. Those are the OBD1 codes.
The front one will cause the car to run poorly. If you stop by an autozone they can give you a more specific codes by using the OBD2 connector behind the ash tray. The code will start with the letter P and have four numbers, ie P1234
Once you post the codes, you can do some diagnostic tests to see if the sensor(s) are bad.
FYI: NGK makes the honda oxygen sensors.

The OBD2 codes are more specific.
The code 41 is for the heater circuit in the front O2 sensor.
The code 65 could either be for the secondary O2 sensor heater circuit or the catalytic converter. I think that is is for the heater circuit.
The front O2 sensor is the one that can cause your car to run poorly. Get a volt meter and check that the resistance from pins 3 to 4 is from 10-40 ohms. If there is infinite resistance (open circuit) replace the primary O2 sensor. You can do the same test on the second O2 sensor which is either on or past the catalytic converter.

But what if its the catalytic converter is that expensive ?
As i mentioned in other posts my car was indeed salvaged
I love this website
Thnx for all the great help

You aren't supposed to post links to other websites, so I removed the link.
You should get a volt meter and see if the heater circuit is open, before buying a new sensor.
I made a mistake in my post. Denso is the OEM producer for Honda, so I would get a Denso direct fit sensor from that site.
