Heh. Actually, my dad is driving that. I'm driving a '97 Honda Accord Special Edition.
You know what's really creepy..? I enjoy driving that car much more than driving my Impreza.

Thanks Brian... very cool of you to meet me at UCKK and read that code for me. If you want to do the high/low beam fogs like mine I'm always in your debt and willing to help. Just let me know.

I'm getting the same error code in my wife's '00 RS. Did you ever figure out what the solution was?

This was a long time ago... But I think it was "too lean". Check the air filter seal. I ended up taking out my K&N and put the stock filter back in and it went away. My car was in some crazy setup of mis-matched parts at the time though. I'm sorry I cant be more help.

cheers,

That code can also signal a bad O2 sensor, so that's another thing to check.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm cleaning my K&N as I write this. I also found a very loose connection between the air box and the throttle body. I tightened that up and once I get the filter in, I'll let you know. O2 sensor was also suggested by another person, so I'll check into that.

If I do in fact need to replace the O2 sensor, where is it?

o2 sensors dont go bad that often. Follow the exaust from the header. somewhere after the pipes come together and before the first cat you'll find what looks like a 22mm spark plug with a couple wires going into it.
What kind of gas does she run in the car? how many miles on it? You might want to spend some time whan the engines cold tracing all the vacume lines to locate any broken or cracked rubber hoses. Another cheap thing to try is the fuel filter. $22 at kragen and should be changed every 25-35k.

Thanks for the suggestions. The car is currently at the dealership getting checked out. My mother-in-law is coming this weekend and the car has to be up and running. No time for me to play mechanic It'll be interesting to see what they come up with.
