2001 Honda Accord Issues?
Hello,
I need some help. I have an '01 accord EX 4 door manual.
Recently my fuel milage has dropped from about 430mi/tank to 330mi/tank. Also, when this started (less than a month ago) the check engine light came on...had a friend run through the computer and lots of errors came up, some having to do with the VTEC, solenoid, and the other with the O2 sensor(i think)..
Also, since this started, the car is burning oil very fast...i need to refill the oil tank about once evey 10 days or so, and i notice that with a full oil tank, if the engine revs over 4k smoke comes out the exhaust.
Lastly, when the oil gets low, the engine will not rev over 4000 RPM and when it hits 4k RPM it goes like a rev limiter and just bounces off that level.
I have never seen anything like this, and wonder if it is worth fixing or just getting a new car.
Thanks for your help.

I drive the same car. My check engine light come on too and it scared me at first but I recently stopped working and I am not driving my daily commute anymore, I think my car is telling me it's time for an oil change and it really isn't. If you are burning alot of oil, there is probably something wrong with your car. I would trade. I'm seriously thinking about a hybrid in a year or too.
