99 Honda Civic Check Engine Light
My civic's check engine light came on last night while racing a Ford Lighting, i tap rev limited at the top of 4th and thats when it came on and still hasnt went off. Im thinking so the car jerked a lil when i hit rev limiter that it may a jard a sensor loose or something? I went wire hunting today for it, but couldnt find anything. Car is still running perfect , no idling problems, or accerlation problems.. lights just on. Any suggestions might be helpful, thanks

Re: 99 Honda Civic Check Engine Light
do you know how to do the CEL test? im not sure about civics, but on my integra theres a green plug beneath the passenger side kick panel. if you jump that plug with a paper clip it will blink the code youre throwing.
here's how to do it. http://www.hondahookup.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=115614
good luck

Re: 99 Honda Civic Check Engine Light
honestly, to get rid of the light, youd probably just need to take off the negitive battery cable for a couple of mins and that would take care of the light and the LIMP mode you are in.
but i think it would be in your best interest to check what code your throwing. b/c it could be important.
do the check yourself with the link posted above or take it to advance auto parts or autozone, they have a scanner and will check it for free.

Unplugging the neg. battery termal did the trick. Im goign to still get a scan tool hooked up to see what exactly it was though
