    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
    You know better; next time will be a ban.

    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.

    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!!!

    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.
