1990 Accord LX, 4 dr, AT, 259,807 miles. Check Engine Light won't come on for 2-3 seconds after turn on ignition key. When it is a very hot day with all windows up (inside car at least 120 degree Fahrenheit or above), CEL will come on for 2-3 seconds right after turn on ignition key. When it is not so hot day and even it is around 100 degree Fahrenheit inside, CEL won't come on when turn key to on. Other than CEL problem, all others are normal, easy to start engine and radio is normal. It has been like this for many years and O2 sensor has been changed with no help to resolve CEL problem. This will fail smog check and my smog check is coming in a couple of months. It was working intermittent two years ago when I had smog check, but not any more. Does anyone know where to check and how to fix it?

Bought a 2012 XLE with 27K miles earlier this year. Beautiful looking car BUT: First the tire pressure light goes on. On line, I have seen every possible combination for the four unlabeled tire icons on the display. I give up. Even worse is my first attempt at changing the frickin oil. Who the hell designs cars today with cartridge oil filters? What were they thinking? Anyway, all was going well until I tried to remove the cartridge holder can. Long story short, I tried every way I could think of and could not budge the &*#@ thing. Even bought the $20.00 cup type thing from Toyota that goes over the cartridge holder. Even used a three foot pipe with the ratchet for leverage, could not budge it. And I had to put in 6 qt of synthetic oil with a dirty filter so I could move the damn car. Anyone have the same experience. I am livid!
