To recap:

2000 Accord 2.3 VTec. Swapped the head out after an oil related failure. Had
a HELL of a time with some connectors.

It runs like a scalded dog. Starts right up. Idles as smooth as a shot of
Makers Mark. Buttttttttttt, the damn check engine light keeps comming on. I
get a code of P1164, "Manufacturer Contrl Air Fuel Metering".

Now what?

As I said in a private reply to you, this is so painfully obvious I'm amazed
at my stupidity.

Thanks Curley.

I'll be checkin' out some O2 sensers in the morning.

Be careful about pricing.

NGK shows three O2 sensor numbers for my '97 CR-V. All three are really
the same NTK sensor, but with different wiring harnesses (primary /
secondary / universal). Since the sensors are all the same, you can buy
the cheapest one at NAPA (under $100) and swap the harness.

Try the 'Part Finder' on this page: http://www.ngksparkplugs.ca/

The TECH INFO page is very informative, since O2 sensors require some
special handling.

Thanks again Curly.

BEFORE I read that I shouldn't use ANY kind of solvent or cleaner on an O2
senser I hosed the one in the exhaust manifold with electrical connector
(damn there's that term again) cleaner. I ran the car for 15-20 minutes at
various steady idle speeds, no check engine light.

So I guess I'll have the S.O. fly it and watch it.
