Hmm.
I drive a '97 HX with a D16Y5 engine.
I've been using the ScanGauge to detect LB but a dash light would be ideal.

Maybe one can tap into a solenoid on that engine to learn when it's in lean burn?
OK, I'm wandering off topic. But I thank you for the idea!
The D16Y5 has only two modes. Might be a bit easier to determine which solenoid is responsible.
