Got a check engine light on my 99 v6, took it to autozone, they told me it was "Emission Controls". The guy said I would need a mechanic with a bigger computer to tell me exactly what the problem was. Any ideas? I am going tomorrow to get it inspected, and will have him look at it, but was just curious in the meantime.

 

ask them for the specific engine code then post back

 

bigger computer?..... HA!

 

it's been my experience as a tech that most of the check engine light problems now a day is the result of the EVAP system. u might have a leak in one of the hoses. also on the accord v6, a lot of time the EGR valve would go bad. that's also a common problem for those vehicle. get the actual code and i can tell u what it is. i'm just pointing out some of the common problems with your particular car that i've ran across. hope this has helped.

 

Right now we are just speculating but i would say it is most likely your EGR valve cause it is common on these cars like frnknstn23 said.
