Maybe the know what the code is...i.e. injectors yet still too vague to tell what it could be exactly?

Some people arn't full time mechanics here.

yeah that's kinda a stupid bash IMO...

not everybody knows everything about hondas..or any car for that matter..

some of the CEL's can be very vague and you could A. replace 50,000 parts and set u back 2 grand, or B. ask some HT members and find out what it's most likely and replace the part for 50 bucks...

I'm sorry but I'll (and everybody else) take the route of not just dumping money into it

You know what I cant stand is people always bitchin about what other people do, and they don't even think of a ****** reason WHY they do it. Why in the blue hell did you bother to create a thread about something as minor as this? ****** noobs. Quit your bitchin and be helpful.

Ehh...we all got our line for what we deem a 'stupid' question. Just help the ones who don't come off too stupid for your liking, otherwise you're wasting your energy.

I just try to help as much as I can and figure that some people are doing the best they can with what they have.

Read into that as much as you like.

I don't understand why people post stupid posts? People come on H-T to learn....if people didn't have questions to ask, H-T wouldn't even exist. There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.

he is right that people need to do more searching before they make a post, cause 90% of current thread topics have been covered countless times before, however starting a new thread to complain about it is counter-productive.

At least others opinions of a tech related problems may help the next guy when he searchs about it? What are you contributing? If you just want someone to talk to im a thread I don't think this is the forum. wait isn't the site for you. Have fun elsewhere.

Dude way to come out here and try to get everyone to look past that your a noob and post something retarded.

dont you hate it when this kind of **** backfires

most noobs would get the info they need faster if they searched, instead of waiting for people to respond. Starting a new thread every time for the same questions just fills up this forum with useless threads, pushing threads on new topics farther down the forum causing them to get less hits, and less replies. I don't know about you, but I would rather be part of a forum that progresses to new ideas instead of just repeating the same old **** day after day.

hey bro that might sound stupid to us because we know.. but later down the road someone who actually searches and finds that and it was answered it could help someone.

hahah.. there are stupid ?'s though.. just answer it and move along. it takes not more than 5 min to answer a ? and dont say its a waste of 5 min of your life the time. it takes to scratch your *** you would have answered the ?.
