Already have a topic on bimmerfest and I get more help and replies here. Those morons on bimmerfest just link you to 30 different links and send you running around in a circle. I have had more help on jsp than I have any other forum when it comes to car related problems. I'm by no means a mechanic but I know what to remove and how to do it properly. Thanks for your input though, and the replies in this thread are helpful at least they give me places to start. I appreciate every reply I receive, not to mention if it were not for OldAndy I wouldn't have figured out what was wrong with my Integra. So by no means will I rule anyone out, thank you all for the replies if you have any more suggestions please don't hesitate to direct me in the right way.


Most forums like that will link you to threads and stickies....like asking for help with a hdin in d2 section.

Anyways. Do you feel a loss of power when driving?

have you checked fuel pressure? fuel pump? and/or the voltage at the pump?

Also check your fuel pressure regulator.

Since you say it runs fine when on the first and coldest start of the day, this leads me to think its a fueling problem.

But after you say the car take ten minutes to warm up and stable out, does the car drive normally? Is there a lack of power? any stumbles?

There are a LOT of things that can cause a lean condition, hopefully by eliminating the easy diagnoses we will figure out your problems.


Thinking about this as well.

Tested the fuel pump, it is correct. Going to replace the other 3 o2 sensors on the vehicle today hoping with my fingers crossed the light will vanish. (Will also be swapping the new bank 1 o2 sensor out just to make sure the one I got wasn't faulty, so 4 in total) if this doesn't fix the problem Grayson BMW here I come.. :(

Ok, got to the bottom of this issue and I was shocked to find out what it was......Lower coolant sensor was faulty, they swapped it out car is back to normal. Is every component in these things connected together? If my tire pressure goes low does the motor blow up :ph34r:
