You're saying one thing and describing another. Is the maintenence light on or is it the check engine light?
You're describing the check engine light. If thats what it is, pull the codes and let us know, that'll be the best way to help ya.
Other than that.... Welcome to HAN :cheers:

Maintenance Req'd light flashing!
Maintenance Req'd light flashing!
So simple, that us long-time owners have forgotten about it. But for the Integra n00bs who see this flashing, don't fret. It's easy as 1-2-3 to shuts it off.
What is it?
It's a dummy light designed to go off after certain mileage intervals for "service." This service is an oil change. It's blinking in your face for 10 seconds after starting your car.
How do I turn it off?
Like resetting a circuit breaker in your house:
-Turn the ignition key to "ON," the position before you turn to crank the motor - do not start the car
-Under the panel above your right leg, there is a small box attached to the inside of this panel.
-Reach under and feel for a small, square button.
-Push and hold this button.
-On the gauge cluster, the "MAINT REQ'D" light will illuminate then turn off.
-Release the button, turn the key to the "OFF" position, then start her up. Viola! No more idiot light!
Can I prevent it from coming on again?
You sure can. That same box with the reset button has a harness connected to the top of it. If you pull this harness, the light will not come on anymore.
