ASAP --------------------------------------- WHAT THE HECK DOES THIS MEAN: "doesn't have an oxygen sensor or intake".?????? A little bit of explanation will go a long way to get you better answers. Answer the five W's. Who, what, where, when, and, in this case the best one WHY? All the psychic are away for the holiday long weekend.

He's right. The VX doesn't have an O2 sensor, it has the LAF which improves overall efficiency by operating within a very broad air/fuel ratios range, 12:1 to 25:1 The other sensor stuck onto the intake is the intake air temp sensor. It won't start without it. "The other sensor stuck onto the intake is the intake air temp sensor. It won't start without it." my car is supposed to have a o2 sensor but its just missing it, i orderd one its on its way. but what are u talking about the air temp sensor? what is that? where can i get some pics to see what it look like. and if i just get a cold air inake will it come with that? are u sure it wont start because of it? thanks > "The other sensor stuck onto the intake is the intake air temp sensor.

It's located in the air intake manifold and also called the "TA sensor." See item 15 (between items 18 and 23 on the drawing) at http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/jsp/mws/prddisplay. jsp?inputstate=5&catcgry1=Civic&catcgry2=1992&catcgry3=3DR+V X&catcgry4=KA4AT&catcgry5=INTAKE+MANIFOLD > and if i just > get a cold air inake will it come with that? are u sure it wont start > because of it? The TA sensor sends a signal to the engine control computer that affects the fuel injection duration. Seems to me its vital to proper operation. Dunno about starting. Dunno about this cold air intake. If you have a web site describing it, please post it.

If someone stole the intake, chances are that someone cut off the wire to this sensor, most often it won't start if you do this. If the sensor is not there, either get a new one or put a resistor in its place. i got it from an auction and thats why its missing a few of these things.. does it need to have an o2 sensor for it to start? any tips? what could be wrong > i got it from an auction and thats why its missing a few of these things.. > does it need to have an o2 sensor for it to start? > any tips? what could be wrong The O2 doesn't affect starting, but you do need it to pass emissions tests. > i got it from an auction and thats why its missing a few of these things.. > does it need to have an o2 sensor for it to start? > any tips? what could be wrong Playing psychic is slowing your progress, so here's a few quiz: Did you mean air intake or intake manifold that's missing? Did you make sure that all your plugs are firing (use a timing light). Did you clear the cylinder if they're flooded? Got good gas? Has stock parts? How's compression? |
