Do you have a reference for that?

My 05 HAH has been having a problem with the engine light flashing at
WOT since day one. It used to store the codes for misfiring. A few
software updates later, Honda claims that there are no stored codes when
I bring it in. I'm wondering what they changed in the software. Does
it no longer store codes for misfiring or does it erase the codes
sooner? My plan is to lemon-law the car for ongoing engine problems.
My 97 Civic HX was a terrific car but I have a big stack or repair
receipts for this HAH. Just yesterday the windshield cracked I
can't afford this car once the warranty is up.

I'm referring to the older non-OBD-II cars, like the OP's Integra.

No iron-y here. Is all-aluminum. Honda, y'know.

Sorry. My joke (for those who missed it) played off jim's sarcastic
reply to MishaA's somewhat...silly...reply.

That kind of reply was given considering most probable level of car
knowledge and skills posessed by OP, based on his post. Not sure what
is silly about that.

Damn, son. Strip the sig when you reply.

Oh, wait, you're posting through a Web interface, not actual Usenet...
