passenger kick panel, 2 wires - blue connector. stick the paperclip in, then turn key onto acc and watch the check engine blink.

ok u gotta b a little bit more specific than that... u jus got me confused

[bigpoppa694lyfe]

ok i got 3 solid flashes and 3 fast flashes. whatz this mean?

[accordaffair]

sounds like 33

I don't think 33 is a valid code, you might want to check again

[bigpoppa694lyfe]

turnz out its 43. but whats fuel supply system susposed 2 tell me... i mean it was runnin fine so i dont think its pump or injectorz

Is your S key broken?

It could be a regulator, a relay, your sending unit.... Any number of things. How does it run?

when i pull codes, the check engine light doesnt blink...i wanna say its the ABS light...but its def not the CEL....anywho..

I wanna say theres a sticky'd thread around here somewhere with CEL codes and how to read them. Ironically, unless you really know how to search it out or what to look into, checking them can only tell what the computer is reading thats broken. Like 203cree said, that one code could be a handful of things. You're best bet, if you cant find specifics is to just take it to Honda or a mech and tell them you pulled a code and see if they cant figure it out from there.

yeah 43 can be a lot of different things, you can try searching things like code 43, or fuel supply, etc. Some people have solved it by changing the O2 sensors, but like I said it can be many things.
