check engine light 1990 honda civic wagon 2wd
The check engine light comes on occasionally in my stock 1990 honda
civic wagon 2WD 5-spd. This happens about once or twice a month when I am driving on the highway. Usually it only happens when I am in a hurry and the car has not been driven in a while (ie overnight). I usually get to the highway in about 1-2 minutes after starting the car, and then it's a sprint downtown at 130km/h @ ~3500rpm. Sometimes when I do this the check engine light comes on after about 1 minute on the highway. The light then stays on for the rest of the time the engine is on, but if I turn the engine off and immediately on again, the light is not on anymore. Any ideas what might be causing this and if I should be concerned about this? Thanks! Theo |
