Re: wifes car cant get rid of CEL

Did you make sure the universal O2 sensors were wired properly? After reading all the posts, the only thing I have to add is a faulty fuel pressure regulator or fuel return line. Before you check the FPR, disconnect the negative battery cable for about 30 seconds. Reconnect it, start the car and see if the light is still on. If the light is still on (based on all the parts you've changed) ask someone that have access to Alldata or Mitchell on Demand to check and see if there was a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) that was issued for 1998 Civics regarding this check engine light issue.

Re: wifes car cant get rid of CEL

I suggested you check for any Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) but you did not state if you did. See link below for some information I found online. Read the summary for the cause of your problem.

You can verify the information by checking the TSB section in Mitchell on Demand.
