On honda automotive parts .com I see the same part number for the HX and DX fuel injectors: 06164-P2A-000.

I have established a good relationship with a wrecker parts dealer here. I got a replacement ECU because the service manual diagnostic procedure called for a "known good" one at a certain point. I got lucky when installing the ECU did not fix the problem, the place gave me my $100 back. A buddy and I are going to another site, maybe, on Dec 31. I'll put O2 sensors on the list to peek at.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
