CHECK ENGINE LIGHT
Car: 1995 Integra LS coupe
Motor: JDM b16a2
Trans: stock LS (i know)
Not sure how much help I can get on here with this issue but its worth a try. My check engine light just came on. Here is what I have done today:
1. Put a bracket on the radio. (could I have messed up some wiring? all audio equip still works fine but would there be some sort of delayed problem? The light cam on hours after I did this so I dont think it's related)
2. Got a car wash. (could water have gotten somewhere it wasnt supposed to and cause the light to come on? ( the light came on less than a minute after the wash and there was a "Rocker panel/ undercarriage blaster" involved in this high-dollar Sheets endevour. not sure if this could be the problem but sounds reasonable.)
3. I have 3 bad motor mounts currently according to my local dealership. Im not sure how this could trigger the CEL besides too much movement of the motor which could lead to something being disconnected/disturbed)
My inspection dies this month and this is my DD so all help is very much appreciated.
Thanks

It could have been caused by water getting where it shouldn't be. Why not just check the code and find out what the problem is?

Re: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (chirpinfourth)
... just kidding. The man upstairs has a twisted sense of humor because the CEL is off now so I wont need to be checking that code... for now. I guess it was the water that caused the problem and I suppose it dried??? Sorry for the false alarm. Oh and I figured out how to check the CEL.
