Check Engine Light - 2000 Honda Accord

my guess is one of three things:

1. clogged inlet or worn out oil pump gears: change oil pump
2. Engine is tired and has leaky loose bearings and journals, hemorrhaging oil out all internally bleeding places. Engine flush unclogged the varnish that was holding oil pressure up. Rebuild engine or change when current engine blows.
3. Bad oil pressure sensor causing strange readings. Diagnose actual oil pressure and change sensor if needed.

These vintage honda engines are everywhere for cheap at junkyards. i wouldnt pay more than 350 for one.

If your rings are worn or the cylinder wall is gouged, pressure will escape and oil will leak into the cylinder and get burned. Keep your eye on the oil level and you should be ok for a while. If you live in a warm climate, you might try a slightly heavier weight oil.

When our speedometer and odometer went out it in our 94 honda accord it was due to our vehicle speed sensor being bad... once we replaced it with a new one, everything worked fine. I'm not sure about the rpm indicator though because that wasn't affected in ours... I hope this helps

What type of Honda Civic do you have? There is a difference between the LX and EX civic exhaust systems. And your vehicle will not pass inspection with your check engine light on.

This is a service required warning light
B" indicates the following services are due:
- Change engine oil and filter, inspect brakes, check parking brake adjustment - Inspect : steering components, suspension components, rubber boots, brake lines, fuel lines, exhaust system, fluid levels and conditions "1" indicates: - Rotate tires

Check engine light comes on because engine computer has detected a fault. It could be anything, from a cheap sensor to an important component out of specifications, to a service reminder. Most shops (not necessarily Honda dealers, ) have the diagnostic equipment to hook it up to your car and tell you what is wrong, before fixing anything. Usual rates for this diagnostic is below $100, including quote for repair.

check egr ports may be filled with **** or egr might be full of **** and need clean

To reset your light do the following:

1-Push maintence reminder button in and hold it in. (thats the button near the speedo on the insturment cluster)
2-Turn the ignition to the on position while holding button in.
3-Wait several seconds until the light goes out, then let go of the button.
It is now reset

Now this is the maintaince light and not the check engine light correct? If then just follow above and do that.

Also if you don't use Fram oil filters you can go 5000miles on your oil and be safe. Even honda says you can do 7000miles but 5000 gives you a buffer if you need to go over.

Yes. I would clean the engine with engine cleaner and then watch for any oul leaks. For you to use that much oil there would be a major leak. If no leaks check to see if blue smohe is coming out you tailpipe. If not keep an eye on is I this it will be fine if none of these things are wrong. I hope this helps. Don't forget to rate my answer. thanks.

Are you positive it is the oil light .. If it is then it could be an issue with your oil pump...
