advance the timing - usually you can loosen the 3 bolts and rotate the distributor towards the firewall as far as it will go.
make sure the thermostat is working correclty.
02 sensor not working right will mess up fuel economy quite a bit.
cats don't really matter on that vintage for mileage, but they make more power without the cats.

I have to have the dizzy all the way retarded cause it starts to ping a little when going over a hill, it's not the stock distributor it's from a 98 civic the stock accord decided to take a crap and killed one of the sensors. I had the civic dizzy laying around and it worked perfect for the accord, i will have to get a digital timing light to get it just right
As for the o2 sensor not being connected it sure does sacrifice my FE i went from 320 miles to a full tank to 280- 290 miles a tank and i am getting close to 24.4 mpg as of today when i top of the tank to full after running 45 miles since i filled it up on the 27 of April, so the sensor will plug back in by tomorrow or Tuesday
How will i need to set my timing if i am going to install an HHO generator?
