Ok I'll keep this short cause I understand I can just figure out the code and find out what's wrong... but I haven't gotten a chance to do that yet, so I figured I'd just see if this has happened to anyone else.
Basically the short and long of it is I replaced my alternator and now I have a Check Engine Light. Everything that was disconnected (upper ps hose, hose that runs up under the fuel pressure regulator) was reconnected. Big green harness is snuggly plugged in, and ground is attached... but it's throwing a CEL? It's idling perfect, and runs the same as it always has. A bunch of PS fluid leaked out when I disconnected the hose from the pump, and being in a pinch for time to get this done before last nights storm hits I did fill up most of the PS reservoir with normal (not Honda specific) PS fluid... but I don't see why that would cause a CEL. Just wondering if this is one of those stupid things that happens a lot. Anyhoo, I'm gonna check the code when I get off work but gimme some suggestions if ya got any.
