You sure it's not your O2 sensor?
I'm not throwing any codes so I doubt its the o2 sensor. My exhaust fumes are on par with my dad's mustang at this point, and combined with the fact that its 95k on the original cat, I'm going to say its my cat :lol:

Well wouldn't your 2nd 02 sensor register the difference?

It doesn't necessarily have to be throwing codes to not work right.

Ideally your CEL should fire off anytime your running rich, obviously it's not now not matter what the cause.

Hopefully that's it and you're good to go, just sayin.......

They were simple, easy to work on, they were twin-cam and they were true sports cars like the Lotus Elan. If you buy yourself a mid-'90s MX-5 right now, it will never be worth less than it is right now. I would almost guarantee it will only go up because of its desirability factor."

the cat would run me roughly $150. isn't an o2 sensor for a civic somewhere in the $400-$500? I've heard nothing but bad things about those universal sensors.

Did you tell him to shove it? haha

I didn't bring in my lunch, so I was heading out to the roach coach for a snack and just so happen to stumble upon some free tacos around the corner :lol:

That won't be enough, I'm going to have to find something else later..

Looking forward to getting out of sales one day.......

He told me
I just got word that they are placing the order through someone else. I don’t know what the deal was, you were the low bidder but the place they are ordering it from is a friend of the owner here. Hopefully next time they will change their mind and order from you

Thanks for your time, hopefully next time we can make it happen.
I told him to buy from me and have his owner cut a check for the difference to his friend lol
