ok i got the cel code it seems to flash 7 long times and 2 short times. so that would be 72. it says 71-74 is a random misfire? how do i fix this?

 

reset the ecu. if it comes back, id check your wires to see if there good

 

how do i reset the ecu? just disconnect the battery?

 

to reset the ecu, what i always do is remove the ecu (15A) and backup(7.5A) fuses in the underhood fuse box, located on the passenger side near the battery. Take them out for like 10-15 minutes or so. Then put them back in and start the car up. Don't touch the gas after you start it and just let the car run until it gets up to normal operating temperature, so it can properly reset the idle. Then shut the car off and start it up again. See if you are still throwing codes at this point. That's about it I think.


On a side note, I am having similar problems. Sometimes I will try to start my car and it will just turn over and sputter for a while then die. I think my problem may be cat-related...

 

Yes, for five minutes.

If you still have your stock Integra stereo, be sure to have the security code on hand before you disconnect the battery.

 

so which should i do? disconnect the battery or take the fuses out? Seems like i should disconnect the battery and it should go away. but if it has to do with the computer in my car then i think i should try taking the fuses out.

 

i changed the spark plug wires. everything was good for about 3 weeks. my car started doing the same thing except worse this time. the check engine light came back on. today i started it up it was fine and the check engine light went off? What the hell is going on?
