b16a check light problem

[renxun]

weired... my car...after doing d exhaust piping.... sometimes... when i floor my throttle n when hit a bumpy road d check light was on ... then i press clutch , switch off d engine n re start it... d light gone.... only happens once in a while... but today ... i use d same method .. but after around 4-5 minits ..d light is back .... i park my car.... fuel fume are so 'nose hitting' frm d exhaust.... wats d problem..? i suspect d sensor was spoilt bcuz they just hang my sensor frm my car when they weld my bullet n i guess d wire cant hold d weight of sensor n have connection problem after tat...

i dun wish to do guessing... but i dont know wher to send my car to do diagnostic...is ther any place to recommend which give fair price over their good service?

i think all honda SC can do the diagnostic and tell u which sensor/what problems u have.

in wangsa maju there is a honda 3S centre. i bet they can do it

I also encounter the same problem after changing my meter to manual one. But it only occur once in a while.... I think because of the incomplete wiring connected to the meter wire... When I want to install the manual meter there are several "extra" wire that have no connection...
Izzit true that wangsa maju 3s can do diagnostic on b16a?
Consider sending my car there...

I'm sure something got to do with ur O2 sensors at ur exhaust that u installed recently. Please check it out. Either not install properly or spoiled already.

o2 sensor problem............hapen once to me where they didn't put it properly n endup damaged the o2 sensor due to it knocked agains the car body

when ur engine light is on, can u engage on ur vtec?

 

[renxun]

yes i can still engage on my vtec....i gues i wil first check my sensor whether its installed properly or not...

 

[crower75]

some checklight symptoms will prevent VTEC from engaging. Not all, only some. If error code 21 (oil pressure switch sensor), VTEC won't be able to engage.

today went back to d exhaust shop ... raised d car on d platform n remove d sensor behind d bullet...d wire are quite entangled.... then i try to untangle it ... wipe d sensor n then put it back in ... finger crossed d check light is no more ther for d whole evening n night drive.... but hopefully it wont appear anymore... but i guess i would send it to honda to further check if ther is any errors...

Better check at Honda SC to confirm. Good luck!

this is common problem to most of Honda cars, it happened to my car before, it was due to knock sensor. Usually only a few sensors will be affected... Go to workshop and do the diagnostic check with the tester, u'll know the result.
