Ok so this is a thread for a question answered by myself.
Yesterday, i was trying to remove the coolant drain bold on the engine block.
After a lot of unsuccessful attempts, I gave up and got the car for a test ride.

During that test drive, the car was slower than usual and during first and second gear acceleration, it hesitated a lot.
No CEL at that point. I told myself that I would stop at Honda to get that checked up.

This morning, the check emission system light came up. Took my obd2 reader and got a P0135 code.

Took the car to Honda and opened the hood with the technician. My oxygen sensor wasn't even plugged in!
I unplugged it in order to get it out of my way to try to loosen the coolant drain bold and forgot to plug it back.

You can see it unplugged on that picture I took while trying to remove the bolt. You can clearly see that the wire isn't plugged (blue rubber wire, should be on the black connector in the middle of the picture)

Anyway, lesson learned...
 
Why are you trying to remove the "coolant drain bolt" on the block?
If you want to drain coolant, when motor is cool, open the petcock on the bottom of the radiator.
 
Lawl,

so anyway one thing I did not try is to remove it while the engine is still hot.
One thing I am very afraid is to break it in...

Edit: Wrong thread...
