have you done anyting weird like swap injectors? turbocharged? fmu? walbro fuel pump? aftermarket FPR?

if you've done none of the above, I'd check your fuel pressure and make sure your fuel pressure reguator is not going bad. I've seen that code before mostly on turbo OBD2 cars w/ the greddy kit, etc. (shit management) where they are always running really rich. If your FPR is dead, you could be running really rich too.

thank James Holy (hardlowrdranger) for this answer...

96+ OBD2 DX/CX (maybe HX?) and EX use different size injectors. I bet the EX (Y8) ECU is freaking out because you are using the injectos from your DX. 180cc DX vs 240cc EX
