Snow

Well I found out today that my car really doesn’t do all that nicely in the snow. I slipped and slid all the way to school and back. I don’t really think there’s much that I can do about that problem either. Really, the only procedure that can be done to effectively eliminate that slip would be to weld up the AWD drivetrain from a CRV. Though that would fix the problem, it is an incredibly costly modification, ranging from €3000 and up.

Overall, the Type-Z is good at speed and handling; not so good at snow.

Primary O2

After a long time of figuring, and asking a million questions to a million different people, I have concluded that my check engine light (CEL) on my car is caused by an improper primary O2 sensor. The only reason I can think of that it would be ‘improper’ is that it is an aftermarket sensor and it’s connected to my AFR gauge. Therefore, if I unhook my gauge, get a new PO2, and wire it into the K-Pro ECU, I shouldn’t have a CEL anymore. Also, that will allow the K-Pro to log my AFR, and subsequently, make adjustments dynamically to match the target lambda.

Hopefully I will get that new primary O2 sensor sometime next week. I will keep you posted. 🙂
