Re: honda civic 2007 . low gas mileage

well that could certainly cause fuel mileage problems. sensor probably needs to be replaced, make sure its plugged in first. and buy either a denso or ntk

Re: honda civic 2007 . low gas mileage

Is it the upper sensor or the lower sensor ... There are 2 sensors .. The upper i mean near my engines face .. And lower below near the suspension

Either one can go bad depends on what the CEL is and what kinda problems you are having. The upper one determines A/F ratio while the lower one checks to make sure catalytic converters is working properly.

Yes the upper would be the problem and you are experiencing bad gas mileage which is another symptom of it being bad.

You did a ECU reset?

Denso or NTK sensor?

Re: honda civic 2007 . low gas mileage

I had another issue today in which the ac fan motor was running slow and that lead the coolant to come out twice from reserve coolant box so i changed it. Would it again happen or was it just because of the ac fan running really slow .

Re: honda civic 2007 . low gas mileage

Head could be warped depending how bad it overheated.
