I have a 1996 civic dx hatch that I swapped a d16y8 from a 98 ex and I’ve had some problems with o2 sensor secondary and the knock sensor and this evap code / sensor due to different evap canister. Also an idle air system code. Which the car does surge a little.
so far ive wired in the secondary o2 sensor and that code has went away now I have a remaining of 2 codes the p0453 and the knock Sensor and some times the idle air code.
today I changed the canister for a 00’ hx civic they looked almost identical from the one that was in the ex I took the engine out of. And now that I can actually plug the pig tail into something I’d figure the code would go away assuming the sensor was good but I still have the code. Any suggestions. From some research I’ve done people say it’s the o2 sensor but I don’t have any codes for o2 but it does have me thinking Since I had to manually wire it in to ecu. Or maybe sensors bad.
oh it also smells really bad of gas.
