it would be best if you could figure out why the CEL was on. just ake it to a auto zone, most can check it and see what it is for free. usually something simply. i have known several hondas to have the CEL come on becuase of a o2 sensor. just a thought

[junior_tm]

i have a new o2 sensor and my car is a 95(obd1) autozone check 96 and ups(obd2)
so no luck for me

thanks

[§treet_§peed]

ah i c no problem. if you were in gainesville i could get one of my friends to do it for you lol

[junior_tm]

do the tuning or to check the engine light?

[EmminoDaGreat]

You need to make sure that your cel isnt an important one, if so you will end up paying for us to fix the problem... Make sure you have the right plugs, and properly gapped. Just a basic check over will do.

[junior_tm]

huh what plugs should i use? the gap i put on 29 is that right? im goin for 8 to 10 psi

[EmminoDaGreat]

NGK- BKR7e, or 7e-11. We have them in stock here if you need them. and gap around .028.

29 should be a good gap.
u can look up on hond atech how to check the code b4 u get there. 2 wire, blue plug, above passenger side kick panel. jump the 2 wires and count CEL flashes. Long blinks are the first number, short blinks are the 2nd number.

make sure u have correct amount of oil and coolant. no wierd idling issues. and extra money to pay for repairs if u miss or forget something. lmao!!!

[junior_tm]

thanks for the info man will try dat tomorrow
well i have to check the idle issue i have now heheheh

[BTEC]

lmao!!!!

[junior_tm]

thanks man

[BTEC]

no problem. good luck and hope u make satisfying numbers.

[junior_tm]

btw when i turn on the car turns on fine but when i give a little gas the car runs rough i mean rough it takes a while to go up.. anyone know what that is?
thanks

[VickNotic]

timing! badd gas!

[josh green]

It means, tow that bitch to get it tuned before driving it. Checking the CEL on your own is simple, honda-tech is your friend.... well used to be.
