^ Or you can go to Autozon or Kragen and have them check the code for free.

Re: check engine light
My honda civic has been recently cutting off while driving and when I restart, it goes for awhile and then cuts off again. The check engine light comes on as well. There's a sensor near the transmission if I press it in, the car moves well until I believe the sensor gets slack again. I got a diagnostic done and it says the TDC Sensor (1) Noise - Code 001 is the problem. Can someone tell me what this sensor is for as I want a second opinion and where is it located in the 2002 Honda Civics (Vti).

Re: check engine light
TDC = top dead center sensor which is what tells the engine how to run properly. i dont think it has anything to do with trans tho. its around the engine timing area.

Re: check engine light
Will this sensor cause the car to cut off if it's slack or bad?

Re: check engine light
Yeah!!! If your not TDC you can really kill yer car dude!!! You can have your valve sticking too far down as your piston reaches its apex at the top and BAM!!! you got to remember we got zero clearance! Bent valves are definetly in your future if your still driving it, im sorry to tell ya!!!

Now, its really quite simple. Understeer works like this: you drive down the road, turn the wheel, but the car keeps going straight, you crash into a tree and you die. OVERsteer works like this: you drive down the same bit of road, turn the wheel, the back of the car comes spinning around and you go off the road, crash into a tree and you die. Now, oversteer is best, because you don't see the tree that kills you.

check engine light 
my 2001 honda civic check engine light come's on and my RPM will not go above 4000 RPM or no more than 80 mph. Sometime when i shut down the car and restart it it goes away but after a while the problem comes back. Could someone tell me how can I figure out the code for this problem?
