What is that Gray thing underneath our car..? it look like something you can put into a computer.. look like a connector into some other part..

im not sure.. but it might be call OBD.. i have NO idea what it is.. can someone enlighten me..?


I wish i can take a picture to show you guys but it RIGHT under our fuse box but the wire comes out from the center of where our radio is located.. there is even some metal thing to rest it there.. seem reallly important..

OBD-Level 2. On board diagnostics. it has to do with your EMS. That is that port that you can access your computer from for things like Checking trouble codes and EMS reflashes.

Re: What is this..?

Yeah.. I think my record is like 9 at one time. That was fun.. anyway. What were the codes? If it was misfire codes that is not uncommon. You often get a random misfire code, and a misfire code for each cylinder.

Re: What is this..?

they prolly didnt tell him the codes, they wanted to "fix" his car and make $$. its prolly all useless codes that wont come back if you reset the computer.

Let me guess your ECU was dying???

Ok. It's seems by this post in the first place that you need alot more help then your telling us. As stated from the other people We need your codes because we can look them up or you can even look them up on the internet.

http://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/honda/

now you said your ignition coil before that is an easy fix. Just order one from auto zone for like $23. Its like 2 wires + the cable going to the distributor.

Do you live in California?? if not then go to Autozone and ask them to run your codes for you OR spend some money and buy a OBD-II scanner and pull the codes yourself. Any guy that is charging you to run your codes and won't give them to you is worthless. Let us know what you get so we can try and point you to the right direction.
