CEL code 01

Hello all, im new here
I have a 92 prelude with jdm h22a swap. I have a CEL code 01, gave the car to my mechanic and he changed the O2 sensor, now the car drives/performs much better. but I am still getting CEL code 1 once in a while when the car is heated up.

Usually the first 15-25 min of driving has good performance, really nice exhaust noise but sometimes after 30-45 min of driving and that possibly the O2 sensor is hot, the exhaust becomes more noisy and small performance drop is noticed. And then sometimes i get CEL light again. googled it and learned to check the code myself and it's code 01. I assume my mecanic was getting same code. since i have a swap, my mechanic told me it could be the wiring. some other friend told me to try another ECU. could the heat affect the voltage that goes through the wiring/harness? should i buy a harness? redo all the wire/connection? please help me!

Sorry but it totally retarded for you to even consider buying parts when you don't even know what is wrong. Could be wiring, ecu or a cheap-o O2 sensor, get a DMM and the helms manual, get to diag'ing.

The car is not going to run right with the stock ECU blocking off the EGR, you actually lose performance and running rich is one way.

i fixed my random cel code 1 by replacing the ecu. i got myself a tuned p28 and now the vtec pulls way much stronger, no egr and no knock sensor. the haynes manual was saying to replace my ecu anyways after troubleshooting. im running obd1
