Default Newb needs shop advice

Hi
Brand new to honda-tech
Had a prelude years ago, and now back with a 93 hatch with a b16a swap.
I really need some help with this one.
Anyone know of a good shop in the harrisburg,lebanon,lancaster,york,pa area?
Thx for the help.

Save yourself $$$ and learn to fix the car yourself. It's a good learning experience.....unless you have mad cash flow. That's a different story then.

If you google search how to check the CEL you can save yourself at least $75 per hour for diagnostic fees. It's extremely simple to retrieve codes from these cars.

The entire Honda service manual can be downloaded online. It will have the entire electrical schematics to help solve whatever issue you may have.

I'm in Texas, so I'm no help to you. But if you wish to learn this site has tons of info. Just need to spend several hours reading up on things. Mostly all issues and problems have been figured out before.

What exactly is the problem?

A CEL that is on can be as simple as a gas cap that is defective or not on properly.

As mentioned, pull the code(s) yourself and post it/them here. 94
