HELP check engine light

[Dmann]

Whats up? I bought a car off of ebay and once i get it i find out it might be a piece so thats why im here cause i know there are some people out there who know alot about hondas. Ok well first things first.

The check engine light is on. Now im thinking this could be because of the catalitic converter its hallowed out and it looks like the wire isnt connected but any input on what it might be would be apprecated. And 2nd the cars exhaust the tip is black and you can see blue smoke coming out. Now is this also cause theres not cat or is the engine burning oil. ANY HELP WOULD be apprecated and Does any one here know how to do a leak down test i guess is what you call them to see if the engine is crap. Also it idles ruff and it has a race ecu. FUCK IM PISSED:guns: :mad: Its a b18c if you need to know. Im going to have a cat put on this monday but i wanna know if i bought a piece of shit. AHHH

Where did the car come from? I brought my car from Texas and from the elevation it was running rich but a tune up fixed that.

The blue exhaust smoke, how dense (thick) is it?

If the O2 wire is not plugged in then it is obvious the check light is on for the O2 is not working properly, It will need to be plugged in or connected then the ECU reset, should fixe the problem...

Also what kind of car is the B18C in and what B18C is it B18C1 or C5?

[Dmann]

Its a b18c1 actually the smoke is black i had some one step on the gas while i watched. So hopfully its from running rich from the 02 sensor not being hooked up and hopefully thats why its stalling because of the o2 sensor. Im getting all that fixed at minaki on monday. Does any one know were i can get an o2 sensor for cheap preferably new. The engine is in a 98 civic hb cx. And does any one know of any good junk yards in the littleton area besides svegils

If it is the 2nd o2 sensor I have one-50.00. Its off a 99 hb w/40,000 miles on it. Let me know.

What code is the ECU throwing?

[Dmann]

Not too sure gonna have it checked out tomarrow. Ill let you know on that o2 sensor. Any one used those denso sensors are thay worth it.

Why the HELL did you buy a car off of E*Bay to begin with? Hope it works out for you..I know so many people that have been fucked getting cars over the internet.

Oh..and if I was you, I'd call Honnda Stuff and see if you can get someone to take a look at it down there who really knows hondas. You could have a whole list of other problems that may be waiting to spring up once you get a few of them fixed. :p

Ive bought 2 motorcycles off of ebay and both were my best bikes ive ever owned. But ill never buy a car off ebay again. But the cars at honda menders right now. Im gonna get an estamate on what needs to be done with the wiring lost of missing sensors and there gonna let me know but if i have to persue legal actions i will. But i will be calling this kid once i get quated to tell him how much money hes going to wire back to me if he doesnt ill go from there. It sucks knowing you got ripped off.

[bigjohnston]

I was just going to ask you if this was the car at menders. I looked at it the other day and there was some jerryrigged shit on there hope dan can figure it out

[Dmann]

HAHA yeah its the car at menders the dark purple one. I guess hes able to fix it thay said its just gonna cost me a bit hopefully its just the wiring. What you think about the car? Did you see any thing else that needed some attention too.

[Mario]

Oh god... another purple car on HAI.

[Dmann]

HAHA for reals. Thank god im not the only one who drives around a purple car. Ahh could of been worst could of been a lite purple.

[bigjohnston]

to tell you the truth I don't like the paint job it is pretty rough but they did do a good job of getting the flares on there but I do like the color and it isn't that bad to look at each day

[Dmann]

Yeah the paint is horrable. Once i get some cash and if i decide to keep it ill get it resprayed buy some one.
