engine management light on

hi. i have a civic coupe 1.6 on an 1998 "s" plate.. i ahve a management light on, and the car runs sweet as a nut.. just want to know if there any obvious things to check. i'm a mechanic, but dont have diagnostic equipment for cars... so if there is anything i can visually check, i will do before i go and blow loads of money at a garage.

RE: engine management light on

take it to an auto zone (or any automotive store) they should be able to scan for the code for free

As you are in the U.K., I guess you won't find an AutoZone. Here's a method to retrieve the Check Engine Light (CEL) code at home:
