Hi everybody. Nice forum here. Tried to search out some CEL answers before posting but I wasn't able to find much information for 1989 unfortunately. That is until I typed lxi into the search engine and found "89 check engine". 1989 was where I was coming up short. Since the search engine doesn't allow '89' as a two character filter, and because it doesn't match partial numbers to 1989, it wasn't until now that I discovered . . .

"The Code 6"

88' -89' Accord LXi Will not start when hot (code 6) TW Sensor (R&R) 263008 $ 29.50

Description:

For the second time this week, my check engine light continued to stay on after starting the car; before shifting out of park. It goes off and stays off after restarting the car a couple of times. The car drives fine. I tightened my gas cap about a quarter turn tonight.

Chiovnidca, thanks for sharing your know-how!

 

Well after looking at my ECU's LED, it flashes 13 short times and then repeats.

According to the code charts on HybrdGarage, this means a defective BARO sensor.

Any of you guys know what this is and how serious of a problem it is? How much it will cost to fix?

 

I don't recall if the 89 Accords have the baro sensor in the ECU or not. Maybe someone with a Helms will say.
