Question I little help?

Okay, not sure what is going on and maybe I'm missing something really obvious. I have a 91 Civic and when I start the car up it runs fine for about 20 minutes or so, but then sometimes it will run up to an hour just fine. But then it will start to run bad, hesitate, and try to die sometimes until the check engine light comes on and then it runs better than it did when I started the car up. I was told by someone that it was the O2 sensor, but I don't know, the ECU portion of the motor is still something I am learning about so that is beyond me. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.

Okay I got to the Ecu and the light is blinking once, then pause then blink and pause over and over and over. Does that help at all?

its your 02 senser

the way to read the light is that if it holds for a little bit then that counts as ten and every time it flashes fast that counts as one

example

hold hold flash flash flash = code 23
hold flash =code 11

hope this helps

later

Re: I little help?
