how to read CEL?
i searched, didnt find anything valuable. maybe im retarded, maybe just impatient.
my car wont start, i think it's fuel, i turned my key to the on position the CEL stayed on once for a long time then 10 short flashes... but that means nothing to me.
1994 acura integra LS
new plugs, new fuel filter today
car cranks, wont fire

As long as you're not talking about the maintenance reqd. light...
There's a two-wire connector stuck up under the dash on the passenger side, where the kick panel goes up to the bottom of the glove box. Short it with a paper clip then watch the CEL blink. Long=10, short=1.

Maintenance reminder light is just a reminder that it's been 7000 miles since the last time it was reset. After 7500 miles it stays on solid instead of blinking.
There's a little button under the dashboard, facing towards your right toe. Crawl down by the pedals & look. Press it while the light is on, hold it in for a while till the light goes out. Then do it again every 7000 miles. Don't forget to change your oil, too.
