Check engine light is on - 2/12/2008 7:58:18 PM    jmehaff   Posts: 2 Score: 0 Joined: 7/26/2007 Status: offline Just replaced the timing belt, water pump and seals on my son's 97 Accord LX V6.  Before disassembly, ensured TDC, during replacement ensured that nothing was disturbed, after reassembly started the vehicle, appeared to run fine and then shortly afterwards the check engine light came on.  While engine was running, there were no metal to metal contact sounds, no whinning belts, no other indicators.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Respectfully, Jeff Post #: 1

Please post the exact code number here.  It will look like this "P0123."  Do NOT listen to the explanation they give you for why the code is shown.  They are usually trying to sell you parts when they do that.  Many times their explanations are dead wrong on a honda, however, the code is correct. _____________________________ 2000 Accord LX Sedan F23A1 5spd -Short Shift Adapter -eBay SRI w/ K&N 1995 Accord V6 Sedan AT - AKA "the money pit" 1991 Mustang LX 5.0 Convertible - my daily driver all through college - now sits in my dad''s garage - needs a little TLC (in reply to jmehaff) Post #: 2
