Everytime i turn the car on, the maintenance required light blinks a few times then turns off. However, everytime it blinks a fwe more times, and its now at the point where it blinks for like 30 seconds straight. Also, when i step on the gas and get on it at a medium level, it makes almost like a whistling noise. If anyone has any tips on what i should do, i'd appreciate it. thanks

 

i have the same problem..

someone answer this

 

The Maintence Required light will come on at preset intervals (by mileage).

It doesn't mean anything's wrong. It just means you should take it in for service (or do it yourself). This includes, but isn't limited to, oil changes, tire rotations, etc.

After a few days, it will stay on. If you feel under the steering column, there is a little square button that you can press to turn it off. Just hold down the button for a few seconds.

Don't forget to change your oil.

 

thanks, can u explain the whistling noise.. i drive a non vtec b18b for cryiing out loud.. lol

 

maybe yours came witha turbo LOL

 

i wish. hahha, damn turbo didn't come in the mail yet.. i'm starting to feel like i got jewed.. my manifold came in before the turbo, and i paid for my turbo first.. god, i hope i dont get jewed..

 

Do you have any intake modifications? Cold air intake? Short ram intake? Does it happen in a certain gear? Sometimes Honda trannies will whine in certain gears under a certain amount of load. Does it do it all the time?

Be a little more specific as to when it happens.

 

I'd change the oil then reset that bad ***** fu*@#!

 

Most likely its your intake

 

check your gas cap. this happened to me one in my wifes LS. if it s not tight the light will come on.

Huh? You're kidding, right?!

 

do a search for "maintenance required" in both active and archived topics, this should give you more than enough information about that!

as to your whistling noise, if you don't have a stock intake it is a normal opperational sound.

 

um, no i am not.

 

and My AEM whistles all the time.

 

Considering the gas tank is pressurized, that makes sense. Ever notice that when you take off the gas cap it hisses? That's the pressure in the tank. The whistling could be the pressure leaking by.

 

good lluck with it
