SI check engine light
so a friend bought a 2000 SI today. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/clean...item27b2d2d98a
The check engine light stays on and the old owner told him it was a power issue. I was just wanting to know if this is a common thing for the SI to do or is there something else going on with this car that hes not telling the guy. Thanks for any input on this matter.

Re: SI check engine light
You need to have a scanner plugged in and let us know what code(s) are there before we can help you. Power huh, is this a VTEC engine.

or underneath where the ecu is thiers a brown plug with a green cap over it. u jump the plug with a paperclip. it will blink your codes with no scanner. u just have to look up the codes. long blinks mean increments of 10 and short blinks are the other number...for example: blink.....blink...... blink.blink would mean 22.

You can get the car scanned for codes at any Autozone for free. The code scanner they use will give you a more detailed answer than the paperclip trick listed above.
Scroll down on the page.
