#2091 of 2104 What does the code 1 Oxygen Content mean? by whittenta

Sep 01, 2012 (7:44 pm)

We recently replaced the O2 Sensor on the car, and now we are getting a code 1 through the check engine light. I have no idea what this refers to. Any ideas?
I have a 1993 Honda Accord 10th Anniversary Edition.

My car did the same thing, its because 2 fuses have blown in the TCU unit. VERY easy to fix and all its costs is the price a soldering gun & a couple of fuses from radio shack. here's the website with the details on how to fix it. http://people.consolidated.net/etrider/accordtcufix.html

have you resolved this?? We had the same problem for a 130.00 and core return we replaced the TCM (tranny control modular) it is located in the floor board passenger side under a plate. We have had no problems since.

I have lost most of the lights on the temperature control panel (some of the push buttons and the slider control). How do I remove the panel to get at the light bulbs? I cannot locate any screws to remove the panel.
 
Thanks in advance

You mean a valve cover bolt? Are you saying the valve cover bolt snapped off and the remaining stem is in the cylinder head?
 
In that case you have to drill it out in such a way to get an extractor tool in the broken stud.

You can bone up on YouTube on how to do this. (SEE LINK BELOW) Remember you get only good clear shot to do it right, but if you take your time you should be able to extract it. These valve cover bolts are pretty small--they do not need much tightening---the gasket seals the cover, not the tightness of the bolt. These can easily be "tight enough" using a 1/4" drive socket and only a little strain on your hand, on a one-handed approaching to tightening.

#2100 of 2104 93 Honda Accord LX Temp and other by pjudge44

Feb 12, 2013 (11:07 am)

Been having a lot of trouble with my 93 LX. Temperature spikes dramatically, car heats up fast. Checked fluid in radiator, added coolant, seemed to fix problem. Started heating up again. Wife driving it yesterday, said she heard a loud pop, and coolant was gushing out from under hood. I get home, look at it, coolant seems to be on backside of motor, near the bottom. I can't find any burst hoses or leaks. Not much of a mechanic. Car is also burning a lot of oil. And idling funny. Usually idles real low, but has a tendency to also race and rev up and down. Crazy. How screwed am I?
