98 Prelude (Engine Light)
Hello everyone........... I was hoping someone here might be able to give me some great advise. The "check engine" light came on driving my 1998 Honda Prelude. Seems to be running fine but I don't want to mess up the engine by ignoring it. I don't have the funds at this time to take it in to the shop. Is there something "I" can do to reset that engine light or even manually see what the prob is? I changed the plug wires (Taylor Brand 8mm) but i doubt that would of set off the engine light. Has anyone here had this problem? My V-Tec by the way is running properly, so it seems, so I feel that isn't the problem. AkreM |

Re: 98 Prelude (Engine Light)
Thanks Sam and T.nelson for your help.
I'll check into that right away. While on my way home I noticed a hollow humming sound "now" coming from the engine area. <sigh> I'll check into that AutoZone and others. Thanks again. AkreM "T.
