You probably need to check your engine. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I have an RSX and my service engine light just came on and I had to manually reset it... I wonder if this is the same thing.

Did you gas up recently and not get the cap on right??? I've had that happen a few times with my RSX and also my g/f's Sentra SE

is your gas cap on tight?

could be anything really, take it to a shop or somebody who has one of those things that tell you what it's on for.

well no shit dude..

just checked over my vacum lines, gas cap's tight, oil look's good and is at the right level... radiator fluid level look's good... i think it might be my O2 sensor's.... i'll go have atozone pull the codes when i get off of work..

i did that the other day. they just need your drivers lisence , so if you take off with thier scanner , they know where to find you.

mine comes on randomly and its always the EGR valve. i don't what kinda gizmos your integra has but if everything seems fine i bet its something emissions related...

ahhh i forgot.. i know a guy that is a tech at the honda service center at the local honda dealer!!!

he recomended a bunch of shit... he said he would go over the whole car.. and do my timing belt and check my valve clearence for $500.. so i think i'll do that once i get PAID!@

lol, 02 sensors **** to replace, mine went out on my old maxima and it was 600 to get fixed by the dealership. Prolly cheaper somewhere else, but still probably a few hundred.

mine are easy to replace.. i just dont want to replace them till i get my skunk 2 full exhaust system.. not to mention i need 2 O2 sensor's at $95+ a pop!!!

like i said , just go to autozone first and see what the problem is. it may be a simple fix , it may not be. so unless your car is due for belts and everything else you said , it may not be worth it.
