Well that will stop the code sometimes, but in this case you more than likely need an O2 sensor. Go to autopartswharehouse.com and you can get an O2 sensor for around $20.00 or less. They have awesome deals on all kinds of auto parts.

Get into a shop & have it checked out

Your not being told anything & gender has nothing to do with it

You bought a vehicle that was bought new & never worked on

As mistake--YES

Most vehicles are driven only & abused

95% of your vehicle issues can be resolved by doing the
required Preventative Maintenance never done,nothing new there

New Fluids-Brake,Motor Oil,Power Steering,Trans
New Spark Plug
New Ignition Coils
New Oxygen Sensors
New Gas Filter

That is just some of what should have been done on all vehicles
several times since 2004

SOURCE: 97 honda civic wont start.

If the car has over 100,000 miles on it, you may need to replace the distributer. I don't think the bad gas caused this issue I think it may just be a coincdence. But if you already changed the plugs, wires, distributor cap, and rotor, I would definetly check the distributor.

SOURCE: Check Engine Light

stop by an autozone and let them check it for you , they will scan it , and tell you what code(s) you have and the meaning , since you say its the day after a fill up it sounds like an evap leak , the car will run self diagnostic tests on itself and the evap tests would have criteria to meet before taking the test , one would be how much gas in the tank to take the test , then it won't run self test again till criteria is met again .

SOURCE: Check engine light came on. Code P1456.

Did you change the gas cap with a Honda gas cap? Tighten it at least three clicks?
Also, Honda recommends that you never top off the tank when getting gas (only go to the click-off of the pump; otherwise you can get back flow into the system that will cause the code).
Tightening or replacing the cap will not immediately cause the light to go off; it can take up to three days of driving for the light to reset.
To check if your readiness codes (emission system) are set, turn the ignition to ON (II), without starting the engine. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp will come on for 20 seconds. If it then goes off, the readiness codes are set. If it blinks 5 times, the readiness codes are not set.
You can, of course, try resetting your engine light to see if it will come back on (which it probably will). I believe the procedure is:
Turn off the engine.
Press and hold the Select/Reset knob (odometer) in the instrument panel, then turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
Hold the knob for approximately ten seconds until the indicator resets.

Hope this helps you.

Reduced power light trailblazer

Sounds like a bad altenator. Usally accompanied by starting problems. To check the altenator, disconnect the battery while the vehichle is running, if the engine dies when you disconnect the battery, then you'll be looking at a bad altenator. If altenator checks good, then post back with a more detailed description of symptoms.

We where parked outside an mall and we started up our Honda Pilot 2004 then the car started shaking like if a pipe or a tube was clogged. Then when we started to move The VTM-4 light turned on red aswell...

you may have purchased some bad fuel only. it happens alot. pay attention to the fuel that you purchase as hondas are known for rejection of ethynol based fuel. or you bought bad gas that had water in it. be loyal to the place that you purchase your fuel! if it sounds to good to be true,well you know. the best fuel is 93 octane at the place that you can trust to sell 93octane right? i can't recommend a certain buisness,but oil spills are never good. good luck and thank you for choosing fixya.com.

Check engine light on always, then after driving a distance on freeway starts blinking. All fluids are fine. Even bought a new gas cap because other didnt seem to seal properly.

On some models when the check engine light is on then starts flashing you could be causing damage to the catalitic converter. you take this car and have the codes checked. converters are not cheap. let me know codes and maybe I can help
