Default Check Engine Light

Hey I check my dash and I see the engine ligth on, so I try to know the code and when I did it, this comes out

Ligth on(check engine ligth): large period
then
Ligth on: large period
then small pause and
Light on: short period
then big pause and
3 times ligth on short period.

What can this mean¿?

sounds like a:

long-long-short = 21 (VTEC spool solenoid valve)

short-short-short= 3 (MAP - manifold absolute pressure sensor)

that's your VTEC solenoid valve, without it you can't have VTEC at all.

yes, a bad wire onto the motor electrical circuit will cause it to go haywire and sensors to not perform right. make sure your motor is well grounded.

from experience, a friend's car wouldn't start and his odometer goes up to 70mph when cranking...all due to bad ground wires.
