If you can drive the car to your local Auto Zone or Kragen or other auto parts store, virtually all of them will let you borrow an OBD-2 port scanner to retrieve the error codes that are stored when the Check Engine Light (CEL) comes on.
Do this first. Otherwise, you are wasting time and money by guessing at the problem. The On-Board Diagnostics system is designed to expedite repair by giving you detailed information; use it to your advantage.
My "check engine" light has been steadily lit for a month, but no real symptoms (except a somewhat rough idle). Then last week as I was accelerating to merge onto the highway, the light began flashing and acceleration was difficult.It will drive at slow speeds okay, but I have it parked waiting for repair. ...
None of those symptoms indicate a oxygen sensor failure. At most, you'd see a drop in fuel economy if the O2 sensor was reading incorrectly.
Come back to us once you have the CEL codes in hand.
Also, which model trim is your 97 Integra?
