oxygen content means 1 of two things.
1.your oxygen sensor is bad
or
2. the "oxygen content" is beyond the specs of the oxygen sensor. this means that your engine is running very rich/lean.
check the oxygen sensor with an ohmmeter. Your service manual will give you the correct reading to compare to. If it is outside of spec, replace it and reset the ECU.
If the oxygen sensor is good, you have a fun job ahead of you, finding out why the car is running lean or rich. take the plugs out and check them. If they are blistered white, it is running too rich. your plugs should be a nice tan color.

the ECU will flash one time to show its on. If it continues to flash over and over, that signifies a code.

what do you mean by this? ^

Yes if its bad change it. It should cost somewhere around like 60 bucks?

spark plugs? you pull the wires out, get a long extension with a spark plug socket (it has a little rubber thing inside of it that grips the plug so it will pull out)
unscrew and remove.
unscrew and remove.

Honda_Racer....don't take this wrong. but nothing you are saying is making sense. so the only thing i can suggest is to go for what i know.
i have never heard of or replaced a fuel fuse that you are looking for...you are possibly hunting down the wrong problem
you need to help us help you. said you had a 94 lx engine. i have a '00 engine and at one time was running a 92-95 Si/EX ecu. i do not think honda would make the 92-95 LX ecu any different. with the 92-95 ECU there is no L.E.D. that flashes the error code. instead the check engine light flashes. you said you checked the flashes on the ecu....this leads me to believe that either you do not have a 94 lx engine or the wrong ecu is in.
can you please check the engine code on the block.....then take out your ecu and check the numbers in the barcode on the side. all these things you are describing is not making any sense and you're posting all these threads all over the place.
91civicDXdude, myself, and i'm sure many others would love to help....but we have NO idea what you are talking about.
i also saw in one of the threads you saying something about it's PGMFI. ummm, yea. if it is a 94 LX engine it SHOULD be MPFI. for honda engine specs check out....

again...please don't take any of that the wrong way. it's just you're asking A LOT of questions and none of the info you're giving us is adding up. i feel like we're chasing our tails......

Ami I know im an idit in mechanics i know shit ne ways i went to check on my block it is writin in graved D16Y7 k . my uncle says i might be the gas pump fuse whatever the hell that is??? k so man i dont k plz my check engien doesnt light i turn car on not totally becasue it wont start i turn on to point before. and the ligth under my carpet on the passenger side flashes once but the is just to say its on soemone told me k so im not sure.. :confused:

okay D16Y7 i understand :)
gas pump fuse...i'm still not getting.
do you know which ecu is in the car? when you take the ecu out there is a barcode with some numbers on the side of the ecu.
can you explaine to me exactly what happened. were you driving down the road and it just died? woke up one morning and it was dead? it started and then died?
i dunno about the SE thing....but we can certainly figure out the not starting thing.

it's better you post up what happened here.....that way we all can help :D rather than explaine it over and over again to different people.
