Lambda sensor

[mr_sport]

I have put on a custom made cat back exhaust onto my civic sport and i am looking for some advice.

My engine management light keeps coming on ( only since i put the exhaust on ) and it is only when i sit idal for more than 10 min and them it goes off after a while of driving. Been told off a few people that it may be my Lamda ( i think thats how you spell it and what they are talking about ).

Any advice wold be great. I know its nto a CTR but any help is better than no help.

Thanks

To be honest I'd speak to the people who made the exhaust, the problem is a strange one and could be to do with many things. Overheating, back pressure, water build up in the exhaust / CAT, or they may have done some strange earthing on the sensor?

If not then get Honda to pull the ECU codes to give more information.
1 question though, why are you sitting at idle for 10 minutes?

You need a O2 sensor adaptor.

Get one of these it will fix the problem:

Not if it's CAT back, surely?

They're for deCAT's and sometimes sports CAT's, if the exhaust is CAT back then there's some other problem.

If the O2 fix will work, that's an expensive price. PM me if you want to try that method

I am sitting for more than tem mins when i am working and delivering food and in this weather I need heating or I would freeze.

I will get one of my friends run that thing to give you the problem code and I will take it from there. Thanks for the help guys.
