Hey guys, I have a v-afc and I'm using the settings posted on that AOL site...it's been running fine except that every now and then my Check Engine light goes on. Up until now I've been resetting the ECM to get rid of the light. So I finally decided to check the code cuz it was bothering me...got a MIL of 61, which in helms refers to a slow response in the primary O2 circuit. This could mean 1 of 2 things, bad O2 sensor or an exhaust leak. However, I'm wondering if the v-afc has anything to do with this? Anyone?

If you have an exhaust leak i doubt its because of the V-AFC. Id bet on the bad 02 sensor.

Bad primary O2 sensor? I have 35k miles, has anyone changed that sensor this early?

use this... http://www.hondaprelude.to/tpc/articles/mil_check.html

just pull out the purple service port from the blue thing and use a small wire (gray wire in picture) to short it...turn the power on and the CEL light will blink...that will give you the code.

well, i brought it to the dealer today only to confirm what i had already discovered, a bad primary O2 sensor...i think i burned it out when i was running in safety mode for 3 months.
