CHeck engine light..wtf HELP ME!
 

alright i'm driving down town and all of a sudden my little yellow "check engine" light comes on and stays on...everything seems to run fine and nothing seems changed. HOWEVER, i am leaving on tuesday to go on vacaction and will probably be putting close to 1800miles on my car over that time! And today is friday night so i can't even take it to a mechanic or honda tomorrow to get it looked at? what could it be?!

so i need ur opinion
should i drive my car anyways and hope for the best?
or
should i leave the car here because its probably something serious?

i'm just really worried about something going terribly wrong and being stranded in some small town for days...and also being expensive!

thanks
cuz i'm freaking out..i CAN PROBABLY catch a ride with one of my buddies to the first vacation stop, but i planning to continue on further to where none of them are going! hence, why i need my prelude!

well my light comes on now, but its the oxy sensor thats bad. it will drive fine, nothing seems to change. but thats what cuases mine.

bring it to autozone, they check the CEL's for free don't they?

^yup

I dont think we have that Canada.. :|
Until you know whats causing the CEL, I'd avoid taking it on long drives..

FUCK

you should get a actron obd scanner, $150 and Iv gotten my moneys worth way over with that thing

screw the scanner lol....all i needed was a paperclip and i got my code

What was it?


Also, autozone/advance auto parts will scan it for free

it was ..in another thread

code 61...faulty primary oxygen sensor
