Car Forum / Honda Cars / February 20052000 Civic LX engine light
Whats up people, Last night I was driving in North Florida with about a quarter of a tank of gas and my engine light came on. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the performance of the car, since the light has come on. I read another link about a 2000 DX having cold climate problems, but being in florida isn't nearly as cold as 20 below. I also checked to make sure the gas cap was tight, someone told me that could be the case, but that all checked out. Anyone have any ideas???? Thanks > Whats up people, 'sup, d00d. > Anyone have any ideas???? Sure. The MIL will illuminate when either of these two conditions occur: 1) A sensor has read out of range 2) The ECU has determined that the engine has emitted more than 1.5 times the federal emissions limit for your car for a specified length of time. Go to AutoZone or other place with an OBD-II reader and get the error code read (apparently AZ will do it for free). It will be something like P0xxx or P1xxx (xxx being three numerals specific to the error experienced). The OBD-II reader will also tell you what the code means. Until you do this, you--and we--know...zero.  SignatureTeGGeR? The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ I had the same thing happen to me earlier this summer. My buddy hooked up a code reader and it turned out to be a sensor located on the top of the gas tank. It was fairly cheap to replace. He says it seems to be a common thing in these civics. My is a 99LX. Cheers, LP > Whats up people, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Thanks This post is an excellent example of Honda quality going down the drain. See so many others on 'Honda' and 'Quality'. They just cannot produce high quality cars at the same rates some other manufacturers (esp. GM now) can. > I had the same thing happen to me earlier this summer.

ROFL. that rates a 5, maybe. honda has a long way to slip before theyre at GM levels. That was true a few years ago, but things have changed dramatically. > > This post is an excellent example of Honda quality going down the > > drain. See so many others on 'Honda' and 'Quality'.

Hmmm, where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, in the 1970s and the 1980s and the 1990s... >> > This post is an excellent example of Honda quality going down the >> > drain.
