The engine light comes on after 5-10 min. of driving. while driving I shut off the ign. and back on bump the clutch and the light never comes back on untill after the car cools off and I drive it again.

any ideas?

you could always try the DIY: https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_152006/tm.htm

along with the list of codes: https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_131952/tm.htm

short blink = 1, long blink = 10

althoguh if it only turns on whiel youre driving thats a no-go, and then you should just go to AutoZone

Well I took it to Auto zone and they told me that they only did 96 and newer and he said to put a paperclip in the little plug like mentioned above. I did that and got the SRS light to flash constantly and the CEL didnt flash. It was just on. I dont think it worked like FlipHKD said. So aside of taking it to Honda dealer who else would check this out?
