Well, my fellow CL inthusiasts. I thought this wouldnt happen for a while. But, my first check engine light came on last night. While i was crusing on the interstate. I hit around 58,000 miles. I'm quite saddened. Acura will charge me 100.00 just to check whats wrong with it. Damn, them!

My heart dropped when i saw that horrible piss-yellow light turn on. As if it was laughing at me. This is truly a horrible feeling!


haha, anyway....just thought i'd vent.

 

My first one around 65k miles, was only the EGR valve that acura replaced under warranty

 

pull out the blue wire harness which is located under the dash... put a small paper clip into the harness to connect the circuit... read engine code by counting the long blink and short blinks...

long blinks stand for 10's and short for 1's i.e. 2 long blinks followed by 4 short blinks is code 24...

then look up code. and you know what is wrong.

 

I got mine while I was racing someone on the highway. I knew it was my egr valve at the time, for some reason. I just had that gut feeling. Knowing that it was a common problem for our cars, I just got me some carburator cleaner, and cleaned the egr valve. Got rid of the check engine light right then and there (well after resetting the ecu).

 

or just go to autozone and they will tell u what it is for free, also it was when my tranny went out on me

 

Got mine at around 30k. Merging onto the highway .. turned out to be a cylinder misfire. Most likely the people who worked on my car last loosened something and caused it.

 

Mine was last night as well, and im at 54 or 55k miles I cant remember. Scared me since I just got tuned up to 10psi 2 days ago and at the time it came on I had been driving hard. I did the paperclip thing and its just the O2 sensor thankfully.
