Engine light on cold engine
Posted: Tue Oct 02, 2012 12:45 pm
Dear,
This is the car setup: Honda civic EP3 european model, 2004, with injen CAI and Hondata KPRO v3
Tuned by Exztra Inter Tuning recently in Belgium.
I have had this problem for couple of weeks now on cold start 14 degrees celcius outside temperature.
When I start my engine and it idles at around 1800 rpm, it drops pretty fast in idle to 1500.
Everything goes well but sometimes under 3500 rpm the car stutters.
Then after 5 min engine management light turns on and stays on until i stop the car.
When I start it again it works perfect without engine light being on, so on warm engine there is no problem.
The primary oxygen sensor was replaced recently because the old one was believed to be faulty.
Right after the oxygen sensor replacement when i started the engine, the engine light was on as well.
The engineer debugged the error code and it said primary oxygen sensor, he reset the fault and i continued driving.
It did not come back until the next time i started the car on cold engine.
Any ideas? Can this have something to do with the temperature corrections on cold engine?
Or the TPS? Car running too rich or lean or just a faulty oxygen sensor that he used?
Best regards and thanks in advance!
Dimitri
