Check Engine light - Honda Civic 2000
My 200 Honda Civic has seen 60000+ miles. Just before I had the 60k service done, the check engine light came on, and spark plugs were a tad dirty. Honda Services said there is a problem with the sensor, and hence the check engine light; they would charge me 300+ to fix (something to do with re-setting the computer in the car). I balked, and continued driving. My milegae has been low (about 60-70 miles less). Recently, the check engine light went off by itself for a full gas tank, but came back on again next time I filled gas. Mileage just that time was normal, but went down soon as the light came on. So, what may be my problem?
Thanks |
Did they tell you what the code was?

Might be an Oxygen sensor in the exhaust that enrichens fuel mixture for certain conditions, perhaps it defaults to a rich setting when it begins to go bad and turns the light on?? I believe Autozone Parts Stores will diagnose or pull codes for you at no charge.

Honda Civic...check engine light?
Send it to the crusher. One down... |
O2 sensor
Might be the O2 sensor. I would buy the pricey genuine Honda sensor, I replaced my O2 sensor with a Bosh unit, it never worked right, was lucky enough to return it!
good luck. |
I have to agree with Jamo.
"Honda.......... From the folks who brought us Pearl Harbor!" :D |
Given the Alamo, I take it you don't like tacos?

Be thankful the check engine light is still on. I can't get mine to start. :3DSMILE:
I went to www.clubhonda.com and I just dropped a bunch into a aero kic while I figure the rest out though. |
Two.
At this rate, it'll only take a couple of hundred years to get them all off the road. |
Just wait a little longer, maybe the "check engine light" will comeon all of them.
There is the realization that "Tora! Tora! Tora!" means nothing to some people these days. Just my $0.02 |
The "check engine" light means the auto-self destruct sequence can not be aborted. Best take it to the crusher before it does some serious damage.
