A few days ago on Mon. going to work my check engine light came on. After i got off work, i checked to see what was wrong. It flashed a code 43. So i went out to buy a new fuel pressure regulator. Still while on my way to work the light still came on A guy at work said that it could be the fuel pump about to go out, but i just changed it a year ago. I need to get this solved fast cause just my luck i'm just 5 days away for taken my Vacation to see my mom in texas.

 

any issues w/ performance? sputtering, choking, stalling?

 

yeah after changing the fuel pressure regulator, after work i noticed when going into park, Reverse, Drive, ECT. the Rpms go up and down and the car shakes a little. but i noticed before all this when stoped it would shake and i would put it in Nutrual and it would stop.

 

ooo. hmmm. that's a tough one. i really dunno what that might be.

 

Well i think im gonna take it to honda to see whats up. as i was looken it over today i saw little black sute spraying out of the muffler.......... hopefully they wont try and charge me for a dianostic Seeing's how i already know the CELs throwing a code 43.

 

Well i just got back from honda today and they did the diagnostic and said my o2 sensor was bad. A new sensor would of been $280 and the labor was $320. Now knowing what was wrong im gonna take the fuel pressure regulator back to auto zone, and install this Bosch o2 sensor i got for $67 at advance auto. well see if this works.

 

well so far so good im not getting any more CEL codes and the car seems to be running a little better. Turns out when i installed my header i had the wires too close to the pipe and it melted them.

 

That'll do it. Glad you figured it out and knew that you don't have to pay dealer prices on those kinds of parts.

 

When my 2 vtec selenoid code was comming up, I went to Honda and told them my problem, when it occured, possibly why, and what code it was throwing. They still charged me 72$ for the diagnostic. The recepit said Owner has custom swap, agreed to work out of shop. So basically they popped the hood and looked at it with a flashlight and said there wasn't much they could do.

It's good to see that the problem is or is almost worked out.

 

heres a pic of the melted 02 sensor.
