P1298 is for Electrical Load Detector (not fuel metering).  That's built into the under-hood fuse box & it measures electrical current being used in the car.

P0141 is the heater for the 2nd O2 sensor back in the cat.  That could be caused by the blown fuse so it might go away when you have the short circuit fixed.

P1166 & 1167 are just for the ULEV engine, so you must have that engine.  Your front O2 sensor is SPECIAL - different from us normal Accords... including it's preheater gets power from a different fuse vs. the rest of us.  But it STILL might be caused in some roundabout way by the blown fuses.  Wait & see.

0700 & 1768 are indeed auto-tranny codes.  Don't look at me for expertise on auto-trannys.

Crap, I'm hoping this doesn't cost more than say 800 bucks.  Thanks for the additional info. I figured that some of the other codes that got cleared were because of the cold air intake I installed a couple months back.  Is that possible?

I don't know about the codes being caused by the CAI, but if they don't come back that's OK.

O2 sensor stuff should be way cheaper than that.  I've got no clue about the tranny stuff.  New/rebuilt tranny would be pricey but I don't know about those particular codes.

I just got a rebuilt tranny 10k miles ago, cost me 1k installed.  It's under warranty for a year and I've had it only for 2 or 3 months.  So if it is the tranny itself, I shouldn't have to worry about cost.  But I'm hoping the total isn't more than that 800.

you do know that you can stick a key or pen in the hole besides the shifter and turn your car to drive right? the car is not useless...

Yes, I do realize that but to have to do that each time is a hassle.  Not only that, my brake lights don't work, which isn't safe.  My horn doesnt work as well, so if my alarm to go off, it wouldn't make a sound.  And the vehicle is useless when it's stuck in one gear.  I do a lot of highway driving and I have to pretty much keept at 60 mph or less.

Apparently I had a short.  The other day I was looking at the tail light bulb and I guess something over there had an exposed wire and was shorting out.  It caused a couple other fuses to blow I believe.  No charge but I'm buying my mechanic and his 2 other guys pizza and drinks. So damn glad it wasn't anything major. Amazing what fuses can do the vehicle.

No, the fuses protected the vehicle.  If that circuit didn't have a fuse, your little short could have started a fire.  That probably would have been worse...

Oh yeah...trust me, I know about fuses. and I'm glad it was not as serious, well as bad as I thought it was.  I have a car audio setup and those fuses protect my equipment.  If it wasn't for those fuses, I would have probably blown my amps.  Been there, don't wanna deal with it again.  Nothing worse in car audio when you smell a burned coil or blow amp.
