Hello to all,
I'm in a desparate need for help on this matter.
I have 98 accord LX V6 with 164k miles. Well, I took this car in for inspection and found out it failed. The reason was 1) P0401 code, and 2) check engine light bulb was missing.
I came home and took the dash out and discovered the check engine light bulb was physically taken out. Of course, when I bought this car used, the seller did not mention anything about the 'glitch.' I found out that he had a problem on the same issue and instead of fixing it, it mysteriously took care of the check engine light and managed to pass the state inspection before he sold the car to me. (shouldn't he be thrown in jail for this?)
Now I'm stuck with this problem and need to take care of it the right way to pass the inspection. I found out that O2 sensor and mass air flow sensor were replaced and I replaced EGR vavle a couple days ago. The result? The bright yellow 'check engine light.'! Can someone please help me on this? I am very tired of throwing money into this money pit and willing to get this thing fixed and move on with my life. I really appreciate any advice!
