Just O.......O2 sensor.

Are you getting a check engine light?

Depending on what year Civic you have there should be a idle screw on the throttle body,give it a lil turn and see which way is up than set it up a lil higher than you have it now.

Were you getting bad gas mileage before?

your co2 sensor is going off cuz youre breathing too much in your car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Alrite pencil dick with the jokes. I was not getting bad gas mileage and since they replace the sensor, the check engine light is now off.

fuel? check the filter see if it isn't clogged, check the air box make sure it isnt clogged, check the TB, i'd sya injectors but it's a pain in the *** to check...

could be that too, too much air not enough fuel = bad mixture

what year is your car?

n/m, i don't want to keep checking back.

if your car is 90's or newer, you don't have an idle set screw

you have an idle stabilizer valve, which uses vacuum control to set the idle, sort of a primitive (less powerful) cruise control

your problem is one of the following:

secondary fuel pump (pickup pump)

primary fuel pump

fuel pump relay

fuel filter (cheapest, probably $5 or less, replace this)

vacuum leak

if your car runs fine, but idles like ***, it's one of these, and if your car is an early 90's car using motronic fuel management, it may just be a dying air regulator 'flap' or a corroding relay. my 91 16v golf had a crappy idle, and after a few $100 trying to find the problem, i said to hell with it

and chill out on the name calling, it's not like these people even know who you are, it's really not that personal, man

I was not being personal. Whats a little humor if they're using it.

ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!

who the hell let you anywhere near a car, oh jesus ooooohhh man thats good stuff... i think driver's ed should include basic automotive knowledge or at least require proof of non-retardation

wow, i was gonna take the time to type one of my usual more well thought out responses but wow, i'm just awestruck by your ignorance and stupidity, its sad that people with such a lack of understanding are allowed to operate a vehicle. i mean honestly, i dont know how to sew a sweater so i stay the hell away from a sewing machine.... if you're going to be operating something that is potentially dangerous than you should really learn what the f is going on.

glad a shop sold you a CO2 sensor, i'd do the same to obvious special ed students such as yourself.
