My civic's check engine light came on last night while racing a Ford Lightning, i tapped rev limited at the top of 4th and thats when it came on and still hasn't went off. Im thinking since 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

Car has 96,xxx miles on, ugh intake and exhuast if that might help at all?

 

Take it to Advance and run the CEL, then go from there.

 

+1

 

may have set off a knock sensor, but ^^^ +2

 

prolly cause u were racing a lightning with a sohc civic.
hahah
j/k find someone with a obd2 scanner, the only way your gonna find anything out

 

hey come on now, i didnt want to. he kept eggin it on ya ima get out there today and check it

 

CEL isn't gonna go away till you scan it and reset it.

 

just pull the battery and reset it then see if it pops back on if it doesnt then there you go and just dont do what you did to screw it up,

 

rod threw the block...new motor time.

 

it's probably a lean condition that caused the light to come on due to an o2 sensor, just have it checked out, i'm sure it's nothing
