1998 Civic check engine light
My check engine light came on after my car stalled out in heavy rain. I
suspect the stall out was caused by worn plug wires which must have got wet in the heavy rain. The check engine light came on after I got the car started and now it won't go off, even though the car runs fine. Any suggestions? Could the check engine light be on because of plugs or plug wires? Thanks, Dave |

Get the codes read out. They will tell you what is failing.

It's also possible that the water might have gotten somewhere else and caused some electrical problems. You might want to check your wires--including spark plug wire-- and replace or cover with electric tape any exposed wires. You also need to reset the engine light. I also suggest that you buy a code reader from an auto parts store. Get one that allows you to reset the check engine light. You can get them cheaper on ebay but it's easy to get ripped off by buying used equipment--it does not always work or work correctly. |
