Honda VTEC '96 Check Engine Light

**advatech** · January 15th, 2010 10:58 AM

May Honda VTEC '96 ako and naencounter ko ung Check Engine Light problem last 4 days ago. Pag nakapark and started the engine for almost 15minutes hindi umiilaw pero kapag naidrive ko na within 10minutes umiilaw na ung Check Engine Light. Kapag naioff na engine and nakapagrest for few minutes and start ulit, wala na naman ung Check Engine Light. Wala naman ako nakikita ipinagbago ng engine ko.

Hindi ko magamit ung car ngaun dahil baka meron pa madamage na piyesa. Some says na kailangan gamitan ng analyzer para mapinpoint kung anong sensor or piyesa sira. Meron naman nagsasabi na manual gagawin parang merong ijujumper to trace. Same says na knock sensor papalitan.

Meron ba kayong recommended car repair shop na malapit sa Sta. Rosa, Laguna who has this scanner or can repair this problem. Sana ung mura lang maningil. Pag sa Honda, they will be charging 1k para lang sa pag analyze, wala pa dun ung parts to be replaced at repair cost.

Sir ang alam ko hindi aabot ng 1k ang pa-scan ng ECU sa CASA. AFAIK it's worth it kase mapi-pinpoint mo source ng problema.

Nag-inquire ako sa Honda Alabang thru phone and ang sabi 1k daw, scan pa lang ung, wala pa service pag may irereplace.

Baka meron kayo alam aside sa Honda?

mahirap maghula pag check engine... wag ka muna mag replace ng sensors kasi baka madumi lang... but my best suggestion is have it diagnosed sa casa then bibigyan ka ng print out, pagawa mo sa labas kung medyo mahal yung sensor palinis mo muna kung mura lang naman replace mo na lang... marami kasi sensors ang honda

baka unknowingly nagooverheat na engine mo dahil sabi mo nawawala pag nagcooldown ka...

its worth it having it diagnosed sa casa ( diagnostics lang talaga no repairs or replacement ) ... been there before dude

Thanks sa advise sir.

Actually nadala ko na kahapon sa isang Auto Repair Shop in Binan, Laguna. May nagturo kasi sa akin sa shop na un nung nagcacanvass ako surplus sensors. Nagjumper lang siya sa ECU and tinignan ung number of blinks. Tried and counted for how many times and un nakuha nya agad sira. Crankshaft sensor wiring ang may problem. Wala daw problem ung sensor at nagre-wire lang siya. Nag test drive kami and totally nawala ung Check Engine Light. Nagbigay pa siya advice for other cleaning na dapat gagawin sa car para mapaganda pa lalo performance. Magaling gumawa kaya for other concern sa car ko dun ko na dadalhin sa. Nagastos ko lang is 1k para sa diagnose and repair.

Kung sino man magkaproblema ng same ng sa akin, pwede nyo ako PM para maituro ko kung saan location ng Auto Repair Shop.

try checking all posible variables why does "check engine" lights up. oil, air filter and minor parts that could be on malfunction. if andun pa din, try resetting your ecu then, remove the terminals from your battery atleast 10mins.(negative first(the blue one)) then if andun pa din, padiagnose mu na sa casa, malamang faulty sensor/s lang yan. they could replace it in a jiffy.

Sir, as I've said in my previous post, na-solved na problem with my Civic. Wiring ng sensor lang ang ginawa at naayos na.

Thanks
