hi~just wonder anyone have the same issue? my prelude running H22a and it is perfect to drive but when the car uphill or rev up abit, the engine light will on, and it is a lot of smoke coming form the rear bottom of the engine, i changed the oil fillter and oil, no luck, so what will that problem be??chez

recently checked and discovered that the oil cooler of the engine was leaking and just replaced it
everything seems fine now and the engine light was because the oil dropped on the sensor,

also checked about the compression seems very strong!!!!

thz everyone!

lol lol lol get it sorted out quick smart, if the engine light is on going uphill and it smokes it usually means your engine will be ****ed real soon.
is your oil pan dented? does the oil light go on (does it even light when you go stage 2?)
get a mechanic with a diagnostic computer with a honda adapter and replicate the above scenario to read the code.
best of luck mate haha
oh and what kind of smoke are we talking about? black bad burning smoke or a hazy mist whitish type smoke?
check coolant as well, is your car prone to overheating?
too many factors you have left out but best bet is the mechanics

ecu, like I said above any diagnostic computer with a honda adapter will be able to read it once it goes on, either u or a technician will have to drive, replicate scenario for the ecu to throw the code again so another technician with the diagnostic computer in the passenger seat can determine wtf the ecu is trying to tell you.
step 1: drive your vehicle to a mechanics preferable a honda dealership as they will have the right tool
step 2: tell them the problem
step 3: they will assist you
step 4: get your diagnosis
step 5: pull out your wallet and hope it's something shitty and small
