<FONT face=Arial>Names La...new here on hondacivicforum.com.....im 23 and i cruise in a 97 black honda civic ex......black..coupe....yeah...how original is that? haha anyways just thought i'd check this forum out...seems cool......but i should get goin...oh yeah....i was wondering...does any of your civic engine lights come on once in a great while cus mine came on its been since saturday afternoon...im gettin worried..the car still runs fine...hmm but the engine light is on...should i be worried????? please help!</FONT></P>

hey welcome and if ur that worried bring it

Welcome civic_girl. The engine light shouldn't come on at all unless there is a problem somewhere. For that light to stay on isn't a good sign. You might want to let a Honda dealership take a look at it and see what they can find.

welcome civic girl....take your car to parts america or autozone or whatever you have in your area....they should be able to check the code thats flipped for free....should take 5 min...its probably something small but def. worth looking into.

welcome civic girl. nice to have a gal around here finally. its a great but small community for now.

Actually mine has been on for 25,000 miles and when i took it in to honda they said that there was nothing wrong, they said in order for it to turn off the would have to change my oxygen censor but there is nothing wrong with it, so i said forget it. My car runs fine not a problem. How many miles are on it? They told me all civics have the light turn on at 65 or 70 thousand miles or so.

yo, you might want to go ahead and swap out that o2 sensor. it may still run but it will run ALOT better with a new one. they aren't that expensive...takes 20 min tops to change it</P>


</P>

yeah your probably right im probably gonna do here in a day or two, i just havent had the time. Well thats not true i just havent really thought about it all that much. But i will thanks.

Welcome to the forum, Civic_Girl</P>


I would definitely get your car checked out. Either take it to a Honda dealership's service center, or to a mechanic that you trust.</P>

just take it to autozone....wear a low cut shirt...flirt a little and you are set, wont cost a thing. they will tell you what code you have flipped. at least then you will know the severity of the problem.</P>

haha so is that how it works? sorry i don't need to flaunt what my mama gave me to get discounts....lolz......jk....but i called for an appoint with this one honda place for next weekend...im getting a dianostic done on my car...but like i said im really thinking its my o2sensor...lets just hope!!!!....oh and i talked to the previous owner of the car and he told me that i should unplug the battery for half an hour and then replug the battery...i'd do it but im affraid something might happen to my civic.....have you guys heard of unplugging and replugging the battery? does that do anything to the car?????</P>

you actually unplug it, then touch the leads together. After that start it up and let it idle for like 10-15 minutes. It resets the computer and you car relearns everything.

yea unhookin the battery aint gonna do nothin. jsut make sure if ur radio has a code that you have to code or ur radio wont work.

Just wanted to see what this was gonna look like. <IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0"></P>

I have a 2001 civic, and mine comes on everyonce in a while because it is programmed to. It does this to tell you when it's been a really long time since you've changed your oil. If you get your oil changed with a professional, than they probably reset the light for you, but if your dad does it like mine does, then that might be the problem. I'm not sure if your model is like that though...Just my thought.

i think they are but i am not to sure about it

wow I wish my dad changed my oil for me.

Before you take it anywhere to have it checked unplug the battery-the o2 sensor probably malfunctioned for a second just try to reset the computer by disconnecting the battery, if it still doesnt work then have it checked. Did you add an intake kit?

I drive a 1999 Civic EX and my engine light is on also, but that is because I cleaned my Catalytic Converter (which I regret doing now). I unhooked the battery cables and let the computer reset, the light went off and a while later it came back on, I know that when I cleaned the converter it probably made my back up oxygen sensor do bad in the catalyti converter. All I am saying is that Honda's have 2 O2 sensors so if one goes bad you have a back up sensor. If that is the problem then don't worry tooo soon because still have a back up sensor to keep you going. I had a nissa 200 sx and the o2 sensor went bad and my car started off real sluggish, that is another way you can tell both of them are bad. Where are you from Civic girl?

only obd2 civs have 2 o2 sensors.
