41 is o2 sensor... car will run bad with a faulty o2, but should sill run. If the light is staying off now, you may have just had a bad connection.
Is your motor stock? How many Miles?

Yeah you might want to get them tested, or throw in another set that you know is good.

There's companies that you can send them away to get them tested.
Or if you have an OHM meter, you can test them yourself:

Buying a set of 4 for $30 isn't a bad idea. Even if one of the 4 you buy is bad, you'll still have a couple of spare good ones. But do test them as you don't want to starve your motor of fuel.

Looks like you have other problems.. time to trouble shoot. Is it getting proper fuel to the fuel rail? How old is the fuel filter?

Sounds like the main relay to me. It's a common problem and there are plenty of them inside Civics and Integras at the junkyard. If you get a soldering iron you can often recondition it yourself.
The injectors are powered by the main relay.

The fuel filter is only a few months old and i think the fuel rail is getting pretty full , i was able to use 3 of the injectors i bought n i used one of my old ones and the car started and idled for a few seconds i een reved the engine then after idleing a few more secons it died and wouldent start again

Where is the main relay located

His is starting, just not staying running. I didn't think it would start at all if it was the main relay.
A faulty main relay will often begin to act up when the weather warms up though, so it's worth a check

Okay guys so aftet letting the car sit overnight and letting all the gas i spilled everywhere evaporate lol i went to try to start the car and it dis no issue i even turned it off and started it again i pulled the back up guse and the cels havent come back yet im letting it idle now to see if it shuts off its staying at about 1,xxx rpm is that normal? Just want to make sure its not low im starting to think this main relay thing is the issue but i cant find it
