This is the deal, i was racing a lil bit an rx8 and beating it.
But anyway, the Maint. Req. light came on. I wuz like ut o. Anyway the next day i gotta oil changed cuz it was about that time. But the lights still on and i sometimes smell a weird burn? Anybody know what this could be? Car has 123,xxx miles on it. But its been running GREAT since this.

Sorry i dont really have more information. But if anyone has had an expeirence like this. LMK

THanks Jason

 

did you just get it?

 

no, ive had the car for almost a year

 

shiet maybe ur burning oil...or have a small oil leak....burning can be anything...but oil, brakes, and clutch are all different...My money is on the oil cause of the miles

 

Hummm, wonder what the reg. maint. recommends maintanceing lol

 

its probably all the burnt oil from before you passed the RX-7

 

if you want to reset the light the button is under the dash, its a silver box black buton looks real plain.

 

my car recently just did that durin a race againts a turbo eclipse once i was in higher rpms my car started smelling oil was leaking an hittin my header which caused the smell check ur head gasket possibly check all ur spark plugs an wires


92 integra DC sport short shifter ,DC sport Header, ITR PISTONS, FULL CATBACK EXHAUST, AEM COLD AIR INTAKE, TEST PIPE, MANY MORE MODS TO TIRED TO TYPE

 

i tried to teach my friend how to drive stick once(tried) and he burnt the clutch, smoke was coming out of the hood, anyways....

i bet its burnt oil. but clutch , oil and brakes smell differnet to me.

 

I checked the oil after the race....it was full, i checked it a few days after the oil change and its still full. I have heard things about needed to replace headgaskets on these cars...blah a big pain in the ***. If u hook it up to a computer will it tell u whats wrong w/ it? Or what the damn required maint. is

 

your car is broken. get a new one.

 

the maintence required light has nothing to do with any sensors or the ecu or anything! it is triggered by the mileage to let you know its time to service the car.

there is a reset button under the dash near the steering wheel. you hold that and it resets the light.

as far as the burning smell, do you have a hollow cat, or a straight pipe?

its not your headgasket, you would have overheated, and blew alot of white smoke out of the exhaust. it would ne noticable.

is it a burning plastic type of smell?

 

it kinda does smell like a burning plastic smell. It really dosent smell like burning oill
