I'm a new Element owner so I tried to find posts about the engine
error codes but I could not find anything. I found one that was
applicable to other Hondas.

Last night, when starting, I noticed the engine maintenence light
came on and blinked then went off. About three blocks away as I slowed
to make a turn, the engine cut off. It will start and drive but only
if you put your foot on the gas pedal. It seems that it idles so low
now that it just cuts of.

I checked the connection to the throttle position sensor and it was
fine. This morning it started and ran fine. I went to my local auto
parts store and they put a code reader on it but it showed nothing. It
acted up again as I was leaving. It will drive fine as long as I keep
my foot ready to step the idle up when needed. For the most part is is
fine but it starts up again unexpectedly.

A couple of people have mentioned checking the idle air sensor. How
many more sensors could there be.

How do I get my error codes and where can I decipher them. Do I need
to go to a Honda service center?
