Hello,

I have a 1995 Honda Civic VX, which I have been driving since 1998. Two weeks ago someone broke into the car and stole the Engine Control Module. I was able to get the part number from the Honda dealer (37820-P07-A01) and ordered a used ECM off of ebay. Now I am getting a code 48. The O2 sensor (5 wire) is about 3 years old and there was no CEL before the ECM was stolen. The car is driving poorly and the shift light (little green arrow on dash) is not coming on.

My question is, is this a faulty ECM? Any way to test it or the O2 sensor? Any other options for a code 48?

Thanks
