Default CEL + crashed RNBP at Chiswick Honda

Just picked the car up after the CEL light came on. P2A00 the guy said he didn't know what the cause was but it was something to do with Air Fuel Ratio.

Anyone got anymore info on it? Also spotted a RNBP GT 07 with the Rear wheel hanging off... Anyone? I have a picture I will post in a sec

I have had a few CEL warnings as a result of running rich. If your car is standard it may be a problem with one of the O2 sensors.

I have a K&N replacement filter with the airbox lid off. They said nothing about it.

Hi Putney.

HAs your car been using more fuel lately? Any idle probs or hesitation?

Did they reset the CEL?

Is your car under warranty?

Well it could just be a blip, but quite likely you have a duff primary lambda. If it comes on again, demand a new sesnor
