HELP! "Limp mode"?
Made is 90 miles east of Los Angeles in my newly-acquired Acura (with 246,000 already on it). Automatic.
Motoring down I-10 at modest 60 MPH when "check engine" light came on. Motor still running as stopped to check for usual suspects.
Disconnected battery for 20 minutes and cleaned some corrosion off of NEG connector.
Car is again running fine, but do not want to continue an 1,800 mile trip - in the dark, in the cold - without knowing the problem?
- Can someone tell me what to check?
- Does anyone in the LA area know these 1.6 Honda motors cold and have a model-specific scanner to help identify the problem?
Anyone who can help is requested to post here tonight (Wednesday), call or text me at 912-996-6296 after that.
