welcome to the forum. When was the fuel filter on the firewall last changed. have you checked the fuel pressure at the fuel rail. is your 02 sensor Honda or aftermarket?

just for info: If the O2 sensor is an aftermarket, even if it is like the factory denso, it will cause the light to come on. some last up to 3 mos. on the first start of the day running rough idle, is the idle cut off clean.

how can you tell if the o2 sensor is aftermarket denso. also if it was the o2 sensor would it be showing code 43 or another code

If you purchased the O2 sensor from any place other than Honda, it is an aftermarket. code 43 also could be dirty fuel injector or bad injector resistor. Do you have a Honda manual to assist you.
