Dash light - after install new sound system??

You can drive around with a MIL light in a OBDI car.
Dont think they had a "Limp Mode" like new cars do when it is a major issue

4th gen Prelude does not have a secondary O2, Where do you guys come up with this stuff ?

Ahh no you cannot
3k rpm is your limit good sir when in limp mode
And you'll be running rich rich rich afr

Sorry i just assumed that all Honda's had o2 sensors.

Hmm - OK, well I have seen the light - but able to get WAY over 3k rpm?

I guess it determines what CEL it is
If it's one to do with emissions or engine management/autobox then it will
I had a transmission computer problem and a CEL 14

OBDI certainly goes into Limp Mode,


If you can rev past 4K RPM with the MIL on then you not if Limp Mode, the ECU is just reporting a fault and the main processor in the ECU is active. In limp mode a secondary processor runs a basic map that allows the engine to run with limited sensor input.

I get high in limp mode :P

OT
Did you get the MIL fixed?

Going to chat with the installer today. The light still comes on - I haven't done any investigation myself (figure they should).

OK - went to the installer who referred me to a nearby mechanic; who had agreed to take a look for free. Trouble is their lap-top didn't have the correct plug! Never mind - if it's not able to be done by Honda this Friday; I'll do it myself next weekend.

of course it should be free! IF they knocked off a sensor then they better fix it!

Holy **** if theyre that ******* and do not know how to get a code from an odb1 honda ecu (google) then i would not let them near your prelude again
