    Car just scared the **** outta me.

    Well the problem has been resolved... Turns out the dealer didn't install the 02 wrong, matter of fact they installed it correctly. The problem was the new cat they installed, it fell apart, and all the pieces were in there just loose which explains my lack of power, and inability to rev...

    Car just scared the **** outta me.

    But wouldn't that give the dealer just one more reason NOT to replace the cat under warranty? Just the fact that I removed the 02 would be reason enough for them to say "You removed it, YOU messed it up" My dad suggests that we rethread the cat and just use the new 02 that we already have...

    Car just scared the **** outta me.

    *Update* I'm so pissed right now... I forgot to mention that about 2-3 months ago the cat had gone bad so they installed a new one under the emissions warranty, but used the original 02... Got in the new O2 today and went to install it, noticed how difficult it was to remove, and a...

    Car just scared the **** outta me.

    *Update* Last night the CEL came on, so I went to Advance this morning and it pulled the following two codes: P0137 sensor low volts (bank 1 sensor 2), & P0136 02 sensor malfunction (bank 1 sensor 2). Sensor 2 would be the one downstream of the cat right? Also I'm pretty sure that the...

    Car just scared the **** outta me.

    Thank you Blacknight for some good suggestions. Last time I checked the oil was about 1k ago and it was perfect. Car still has the original plugs and wires, so maybe this could be a culprit, but then again with only 41k is it even time to go into that?

    Car just scared the **** outta me.

    Potentially hurting my engine? Its a Honda...there should be no harm in opening her up a little from time to time. I in no way 'beat' on my car, I take really good care if it. Your gona tell me that you've never gone WOT in your car for fear of hurting your engine?

    Car just scared the **** outta me.

    Hot rod it? WTF?? So becasue my car is a stock 4cyl auto I can't floor it every now and then for the fun of it?? Dumb move by opening your mouth like an idiot. The transmission has new genuine honda tranny oil. (from about 30k) This was done on my g/f's street where I normally will floor it...

    Car just scared the **** outta me.

    I floored it in 1st (its an auto) and the car revved reaaaally slow and seemed to be barely moving then it reached about 5500 and just sat there for a few seconds. Then it shifted directly into 2nd instead of hitting redline then shifting normal. This happened twice to me today and once...

    Rivalry...

    *Update* We raced last night he installed the header and exhaust a week ago... We went about 5 times. From a stop he pulls in 1st, and after that my car gets into its powerband, and I pull ahead pretty hard. With a good launch I would pull a full car length on him. From a roll I would pull...
