off the top of my head im pretty sure that code is related to the oil leak. ive seen a few accords, crvs and elements throw this code when they are low on oil or if its been way too long since oil change and oil is sludged up.

first step find ur oil leak and fix.

These engines have had porous block issues. May or may not be your problem. Look and you shall see.

sounds like you need to stop driving it and take it to a shop ASAP. Take it to dealer if you're lucky enough to have an extended warranty on it.

Sure it does. There is even a service news about it.

From the March 2005 Service News.



The oil leak may also be the valve cover gasket. We've been seeing more of those lately.
