having some problems
well tonight i was riding home from my g/f's house and i noticed that when i drop a gear and get into higher RPM's my car sputters. My check engine light came on maybe a week ago and it's cuz one of the O2 sensors went bad, could this be the problem?? it's also been raining all day and i have a vented hood so maybe water got somewhere it shouldn't have, i haven't had that problem in the year or so that i've had that hood though. I drive a 99 SOHC civic BTW

Re: having some problems
As fas as I know a bad o2 sensor will put your car in safe mode, or limp mode wutever your familiar with. This mode only allows you to rev to a certain point. I hope this would help. Also if you knew the o2 sensor was bad you should replace it right away, but thats just my opinion.

Re: having some problems
yea it sounds like ur O2 sensor is making it do that. But like he said ^^ if it went bad you should have replaced it that day or at least the day after. I wouldnt really be driving around with it like that esp for a week or so
