I just had a sohc zc swapped into my crx about a week ago

with my old d16 engine i could get 500-550 km per tank
now on the zc i get only around 450 per tank

is this normal with the different engine?

when the engine was installed i was told that the check engine light turned on and it was giving a code for the o2 sensor
so he cleared it and it never came back

i still think there's a problem because my rpm's fluctuate a bit when i'm idling

well it seems pretty obvious that u need a new o2 sensor. go pick one up. its easy to replace.

are u using the same o2 sensor as before the swap?

yea i had a b16 installed in my crx and i can only get 450km tops.
i think it is a number of things that makes it suck more fuel. with mine the gear ratio is different so i run higher rpms. but it's not bad fill up every week and a half for 30 bucks (premium)
don't know if yours is a problem. hopefully nothing wrong

if it was fine before the swap then that might not be it...tho it still doesnt hurt to have a new one.

was it 40 dollars when they had the bosch sale or was that just regular price?
