For anyone looking at replacing a secondary o2 sensor. I can confirm that the Denso 234-4122 Oxygen Sensor, sold on amazon.com fits for the EP3. Just the wires needed to be extended about 50mm. At AUD $46.52, it was a much cheaper alternative to buying one locally for $300+.

I think there is also one on ebay for ~$124, think its local as well not sure about the cable length though.

Did you just get some extra wires to extend the length?

I just cut out some wire from the old (broken) one.

Also forgot to mention $46.52 was the delivered price.

Has anyone taken apart their Vtec solenoid? How much oil comes out? Just wanted to inspect it and maybe give it a clean; just wondering if i'm expecting a mess or not...

Man I did something very very bad tonight... was cleaning my throttle body, and after I put everything back together, went to start my car for the first time in 3 days. As soon as i cranked the engine, the revs shot right up bouncing off redline for a good 3 seconds on a dead cold start, wasn't even pressing any pedals. So i shut the engine off asap; Turns out the throttle cable wasn't on its tracks so the valve was wide open as if i was flooring it... Sigh... i feel so bad :'( Car still drives fine, but i prob killed my engine life by a few thousand kms..

Don't our ECUs have a rev limiter at 5,000 rpms when stationary to prevent this sort of stuff from happening?

Not sure, but it was bouncing off on high rpms, just feel bad cause its the first time i started it in 3 days and it was a pretty cold night, imagine flooring it while starting the engine lol >.<

Got my lunch control set to 5000 RPMs :) and Rev limiter set to 8400 for flat shifting
