Thanks for the replies guys,

Daox - I don't think the dead pedal is lean burn mode, it will immediately go into this when I ease off of the throttle, but takes 2-3 seconds of mashing the pedal to the floor to get the engine to react at all (no revs). This is a big deal when just trying to get up my driveway (1/10 of a mile uphill), because unless I am giving it hard throttle it will go into this "dead pedal" mode and almost come to a stop. If this is normal for lean burn let me know, but I can't believe Honda would devise a system like this, it would be very dangerous for the average driver.

Ryland - Yes when I unplug the O2 sensor it runs perfectly normal. I know that I need to get one back in there, but man are the HIGH priced. I have read the reviews about the aftermarket ones, but the reviews seem mixed about how well they work. I will be keeping the stock exhaust and also will be switching over to good quality (low friction) oil in the engine and drivetrain.



Not to start controversy, but does anyone have a suggestion on the best place to purchase my 02 sensor. I would love to hear your experience with aftermarket sensors or otherwise.
