It's amazing to me that people post stuff like that and expect everyone reading it to be psychic regarding year, model, engine, transmission type, etc. I'm not picking on this person.......just one of many"help me" posts with zero information. I Know HD & DH get tired of asking the same questions over and over.


No information=No help!!!

My bad... The car is a 97 SE 2 door F22b2 Automatic... And how do i know what code is being stored in the ECU??? The engine light never came on before it overheated Friday... I fixed the leak i figured it would go off when i reset the ECU... any help would be much appreciated.

First you could go to Autozone and they will give you a free print out of the problem code. If you think it just because of the leak then just simply disconnect your battery. Wait a little before reconnecting it then start your car up and let it run for some time. Disconnecting the battery has worked for me. I do know that there are other methods that I'm sure that Desert honda could tell you about. Also you should maybe do a search in the forum because the check engine light issues come up a lot here. Hope this helps. Breeze

if you take a few minutes to go to our DIY section,, you will find on How to clear the ECU...
anyho, clear it, drive the car as you normally do,, if code comes up again, like Breeze said, go to Autozone and have them read the code and then post it here

Also you might want to input the year and model on your signature , so it will always be there should you need future help
