Did you replace your oxygen sensors when the cats were replaced?

Edit: Timing by ear.... Just plain stupid....... [Roll Eyes]

did not replace 02 sensors no..

havent done a tuneup yet, gonna do that hopefully it will do something. i recently bought the car.
the cats were clogged pretty bad

just posted the thread to see if anyone else has had same problem in the past on these LX's.

Thanks for input hopefully the tuneup will make it run a bit better.

Give it a complete tune up. Get a timing light and set it at 10 degrees initial. Clean out the MAF sensor. Then start pulling your hair out if the problem is still there. The stupid stuff can kill you sometimes if you don't check the easy stuff first.
