With the car idling up and down, you might have a vacuum leak. Maybe even around the egr. How many miles you have?

 

well give us the exact code number. and someone will tell u.

but if its emissions related, ur looking at something like; O2 Sensor, Knock Sensor, Fuel/Oil sensors, Anything related to fuel and/or air.

How many miles are on the car? Whats the code number?

 

Oh, and what year / model is the car? i.e. 00 SH, 97 base? or what...

 

its a 1999 base honda prelude with 96k miles

 

Code number?

 

woot the engine is gone on its own!

 

?

engine got up and ran away? problem solved, i guess.

 

i meant engine light! ahhah

 

might be a dirty o2. ive had a few do that, light on and light off a few days later...

 

I would still check the check engine code even if it went off

 

sometimes I get an o2 code when its really cold out (about 5 below freezing or so), but once it warms up it goes away again. My car has been doing that for about 2 yrs now. Might be your problem too.
