you know now that I think about it I did have that happen to me with my old integra before I actually got a check engine light
here is a way to test it electronically:
Make sure the engine is cooled down before removing the oxygen sensor.
1. Remove the oxygen sensor from the car.
2.Mount the oxygen sensor in the vise and then connect the negative voltmeter lead to the case of the sensor and the positive lead to the sensor output wire.
3. Light the propane torch and heat the fluted or perforated area of the sensor. Voltage should shoot up to 0.6 or higher within 20 seconds of heating. If you see the increase in voltage, remove the flame and watch for a drop to under 0.1 seconds. If you do not see the fluctuation in voltage, the sensor is probably fouled.
4. Heat the perforated section of the sensor for two full minutes and watch for drops in voltage. Sometimes the connections will open up under heat and act the same as a loose wire. If the sensor fails this "two minute test" then it needs replaced. However, if it does not have sharp fluctuations in voltage under constant heat and it shows a difference in voltage with the addition/removal of heat, then the sensor is fine and can be remounted
but remember this only happens when its hot i rememberd i filled my gas tank up at a diffrent gas station i only use shell gas could it be the gas from their wasent good? yesterday the rev would be at 1500 when we were stoped. would i need to change my coolent? its not over heating this is as soon as i turn the car on also how do i clean the maf sensor? is that the one that goes inside the short ram? also i just changed my air filter my o2 sensor is the same one that came with the car i bought my car used with 40,000 for 5k so i thought that was a killer deal
the car is not tuned at all i have an sri intake manifold udp and 2 1/2" exhaust. but thees mod were on for about a year already and the car has been fine idk how to tune it because of the altitude i would need it tuned in colorado because of the elevation

the car is not overheating
fuel was 3/4 full maybe bad gas? so it might be throwing more air in to try to level things out? idk.....is that possible?
So spend your time trying to formulate an intelligent response to his query instead of criticizing a perfectly useful and valid response from someone else.
