the check engine light came on, it's a 97 accord 4 cylinders. would spark plugs have anything to do with that? What are the possible troubles that could have trigerred that light? thanks for your help.

 

In my accord the check engine light gets stuck on after every 6,000 miles to let you know it needs to be tuned up. If you hold down button that resets the odometer when you first turn on the car and keep pressing it.. the check engine light should go off. The dealership is supposed to reset it every so often.

 

there is a maintenance light that comes on every 6000 miles or so and that one can be turned off the way you mentioned. But the check engine light is still on. Any ideas? thanks.

 

You will have to pull codes from the ecu to pin point the prob.
It could be your spark plugs/wires. is it running rough?
If not it could be an o2 sensor.
