So my check engine light came up the other day so I used the good old paper clip trick to find out what code it would throw out (I have a 00 Accord). Ended up getting a code 87.... I searched for it but I couldn't find anything for this specific code. Any clues on what it is and how hard of a fix it is?

TIA!

 

No such code listed
maybe a code 8 and code 7?
Is this a code you got by jumpering pins on the OBD2 connector?
That method often leads people astray
as an example;
You are getting DOS 2.0 information in a computer loaded with Win XP pro

It was 8 long blinks and 7 fast blinks... maybe a 80 and a 7??

 

80 would be egr low flow.
7 is tps
But again, it would be better to get the codes with a scan tool.

 

Any local auto store will do it for free. (Usually)

The OP is from California, I believe that state has a law against the parts stores helping people for free.
It is a part of the overly restrictive emission laws that state engages in, and forces onto manufacturers as well as consumers.

 

Yeah I called around and they won't do it for me. Its not a 8 and a 7 for sure. It can only be an 87 or an 80 and a 7 which I still can't figure out what its for. Arghhh!!!
