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?

**UNA91** · 27-03-2012 12:06 PM

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
