Maybe your car is running rich.

O2 Primary Sensor.
Guranteed.
Do a ECU Test (Take it to a auto elec) Shouldnt charge u much.

If its an 02 sensor fault "guaranteed", why bother do an ECU test when u know it is the fault
If you really want to do an ECU test there are threads here explaining how to do one...
common sense....

DIY ECU test and 02 sensor replacement? ...go to "www.hondahookup.com" download the Acura RSX and no one has to charge you anything $0.00...02 sensor replacement is dead easy. lol, unless you dont what you're doing then go to an auto elec.

Thanks but ive taken my initiatives before that mate, thats exactly what ive already got and anyone can get the Service Manual of an RSX at "www.hondahookup.com", but thanks anyway. Those codes are easy to learn and read, point is you can do it yourself and replace the sensor . .... "auto electric" BS for such a simple task....lmao

And curiously... Do you understand how easy it is to break an O2 Sensor??
Just curious thats all..
Very very easy...
Why would i do it myself and risk it when i can get mine fitted in 15minutes for $15 by my auto elec??
No dramas...

That way, he breaks it, he pays for it

its easy to break if you dont have the skills to handle it...hahahaha,
exactly! a 15 minutes job buddy.....simple
some of us are noobs and some have skills and knowledge to do it, i dont know where you stand but i did mine myself for...guess what $0.00. and nver had a problem for 4 yrs. lmao

most of us know that Auto electrician and mechanics (unless trusted) are known to rip off ppl & some dont even know what theyre doing as they give the car to some 18 yr old apprentice to do it while your back's turned and i dont want to risk it in someones hands either..

To the OP, im just helping out, DIY is an option.
