Fixed Car- MPG plunged- Charge Problem too

jfischer51 · 08-12-2008, 04:56 PM

My check engine light came on. Honda replaced the computer. Then Honda and
I replaced the o2 sensor. 2000 5spd w/75k
Now the assist kicks in much more frequently, the batteries never charge all
the way, and mileage has gone from 65 to 47. Ideas??
P.S. This is my first post, I may be doing something wrong.

There is another thread going on at this time with the same situation. I will see if I can link it to this thread. Nevermind I see the other thread is yours...same problem

This may be too obvious to even mention... but...

Check that your helpful (?) Honda Dealer didn't "adjust" your tire pressure downward when you had it in for service (they tend to do that, trying to be "helpful"), and make sure it's up there at 44-50 lbs. (I keep mine at 50 at all four corners)...

Every time I get back from the Honda Dealer they have always reset my tire PSI to a bit above 35 PSI... always under 40...
