Whats up--

Today I washed my car and specifically the engine bay, covered up the important stuff of course. Afterwords, I went to fire it up and immediatley got a CEL. I tried to jump the connector and check the code, but all that would happen was my CEL would stay ON. I don't understand...

I am not getting VTEC, and I can still take the RPMS up high like usual.

My girlfriend lives about 2 hours away and after I drive to her house, by the time I get there my car hesitates and sometimes throws a CEL. I have tried to check it and have had the same problem as stated above- the CEL just stays on and doesn't blink. I think that this is an O2 sensor problem, not related to today's CEL.

Setup is 91 accord EX, JDM h22, h23 tranny, p13 ECU (unmodified), N2 header, stock accord exhaust.

What do you guys think? VTEC solenoid? Why am I not able to pull codes? I also tried to reset the ECU by pulling the ECU and Back Up fuses for 20 minutes, the CEL came back on immediatley.

 

what are you using to jumper the connector?
if paper clip
try a wire

 

Yea, I was using a paper clip. My connector was messed up so I stuck it in the back and it worked. Pulled code 6, I guess I pulled an ECT wire loose. I will have to check it tommorrow.

Here is my post in the accord forum with a humorous quote for you.. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=818082

Thanks.
