    The brother had a simular problem with his 01 accord. Was ok until about 10 mins after the flood and the EML came on, turned out to be the two oxygen sensors. Could be anything, best to get it plugged into a diagnostics meter.

    Well he just ran into it unexpectedly, when she is idling for a bit would just drop the revs for a second and then recover. Will not know until you get it checked.

    (24) Air intake temp sensor (open/short circut)

    Thats what that code relates to so happy hunting after that.

    Air intake temp sensor is just pushed into the top lid of the airbox.Try drying it out,plug it back in,pull out the efi fuse (in fusebox in pas side of enginebay) for a few mins.This clears the ecu of error codes.Put in fuse,start engine.If it still flashes 24,then get a new/2nd hand sensor for it.

    k sourced the problem....i removed the wire from the injector on cylinder one....and joined the wire from injecter on second cylinder to first injector....car ran perfectly.....so deres a problem with the wire goin to injector or the ecm?

    Anyone have an idea how to trace this wire?

    Or the price of a new ecm if i need it.

    Any help appreciated.

    That's a strange one. So you're saying that with the wiring for injector 2 connected to injector 1, the car runs fine?? Surely it would be misfiring as bad if not worse than before, because injector one would be pulsing out of sync with the camshaft phase signal...i.e fuel would be injected into cylinder 1 at the time it should be being injected into cylinder 2.
    Is it possible you're confusing the injector wires with the spark plug HT leads, and they've been switched around the correct way?
    I agree also with above post, disconnect battery or the EFI fuse and wait 10 secs for fault code to be erased, then check MIL light.
