Hey I just bought a 96 honda accord ex coupe just over a week ago and one of the problems i have to fix is the check engine light. A mechanic friend of mine ran a diagnostics and he said that it was the "before" or bank one o2 sensor that had failed. so i went out and bought a used o2 sensor from a junkyard and now i just have to figure out how to install it before my emissions inspection. i just need to know how to do this and what tools i need like a car lift or jack or other fancy tools. and what i'm also curious about is whether you have to reset the check engine light code and if so how to go on about resetting it so that it would pass emissions. i know that getting this repaired at a shop would probably be way overpriced. the honda dealership i called told me that the o2 sensor was 260 dollars just for the part.

another less urgent fix that i also have to do is replace the instrument cluster because the odometer is broken. i also bought a used instrument cluster at the same junkyard for a very reasonable price. if also replacing the instrument cluster is easy then i plan on doing that by myself.
