"Check" light came on, any ideas?

Aiight, so I'm drivin down the highway at about 80mph and still accelerating and I feel a slight jerk. It ain't like it was whiplash or anythin but it was noticeable, and then the "Check" light comes on. Now that the search function is finally back up, I read somethin about an EGR valve problem? Anybody else experience this?

My engine's got 150000+ on it BTW. Don't worry everybody I'll be gettin an H22A soon...

Thanks.

Same thing happened to me today in my Winter Unit. Brought it into the dealer and they told me a combination of things. 1. Distributor Wires, fuel filter, spark plugs, air filter. The list kept going.

I told them to change out the wires and I'll do the rest. The SUV has 90000 on it and I guess the distributor wires are probalbly due to change.

Hmm, I don't think I have all those problems. I did a "Self Diagnosis" test from the Haynes Accord manual and I got a "Code 17," which says that its the Vehicle Speed Sensor. I might have to replace the sensor or somethin. Anybody else have this sensor problem?

if it's the speedo sensor error, it happened to me b4 too. but the dealer fixed it for free and they said it's part of another extended warranty..

just to be clear, i didn't have any warranty coverage at the time
