there is a two wire plug behind the center console/radio. jump the two wires together with a paper clip. Then turn your ignition switch on, your check engine light will flash, telling you which code is the problem.

long flash means count 10's, short flash means count one's

so, two long flash, then two short flash means code 22

four long flash, one short flash means 41

and if there's more than one code, there is a pause in-between codes.

yes, it will repeat over and over. if it keeps repeating the same #, you only have one code. sometimes there are more than one. it will be a two digit #.

post it up on here. i have almost all of them memorized.

or search for trouble code threads, i am sure they are on here

Guess I should have told you i didnt have a lude but a 94 accord, took me a sec to find the plug but when i did, put in the paperclip, got code twenty two looked at link you gave me and code 22 vtec solenoid problem. Took solenoid off checked screen thats ok and oil flowing through good, looked down and i see this little black wire sticking out ? So i untaped vtec wires and nothing for black wire to connect to so it must be a ground!!!!! Then I ground the wire to the clamp on vtec solenoid, reset the ecu, and NO MORE ENGINE LIGHT AND VTEC AT 5000rpm WOOHOOO!!!!!!!! TY man for all the help!!! Just put rims on and bout to try to paint it myself will post pictures hopefully one day!!!! Oh How much hp would you think i would get if i stroked it to 2.49? Trying to go N/A

This guy that owns a race shop offering to sell me a ported and polished head for $600 he ordered it before he sold his race car and say he will give it to me real cheap. The head, eibach dual valve springs, titanium retainers, ferrera valves, high compression pistons he said it can handle 10,000 rpms does that mean my readline will increase without damaging valves or engine or will i have to do more. all that for $600
