My father owns a 2000 Honda Accord. He has a CEL right now. I do not know how to jump the connectors in order to read the code and we don't have an AutoZone here in Hawaii.

He said the symptom is that the car bogs down like the fuel filter is clogged. Does that make any sense or ring a bell as to what might be causing the problem?

It happens while he is in stop and go traffic for more than half an hour. He said it is just when he is going around 25-30mph.

My dad also said it only happens once the car has warmed up quite a bit. He can let it rest and the next day when he uses it it is okay until it warms up again.

When does it bog down..?

jump pins #8 and #13 on DLC and turn ignition on and count # of time CEL blinks

although true.. its not acurate.

The cel (check engine light) will flash slow at first giving you the first # of the sequence which is two numbers... shown as x ( x3)

So if it flashes slow 5 times your first # will be 5

The second set of flashes will be faster & that will give you the second # show as x ..... (5x)

So if it flashes fast 3 times, your second # will be 3

this will give you 53 & there you have your code.

Now if it only flashes once slow it would be ( 10 )

if it only flashes once fast its ( 01 )

You will see what im talking about when you jump the pin.

Hope I didnt confuse you.

 

ahha so i was half asleep when i typed that......but you are right
