I have had my car for almost a year now and lately I have noticed that during long periods of travel my check engine light comes on and my car performs WAY better. I took it to the Honda Dealership for a diagnostic (Yeah they raped me.)to see what was going on. They of course gave me the run around. But Basically here's what's going on:
No light - Slow/Sluggish acceleration, Almost like its having trouble shifting from 1st to 2nd gear (AT). Weird "overbuzz" noise. Sounds like the engine is working harder than what it should be under acceleration. Poor Throttle/Reaction ratio. I have to halfway floor it to go almost 50. Weird smell. Rough Idle. Weird sounds at idle. Sounds like the engine might cut out. Weird knocking sound upon acceleration.
Light - Of course Its not sexy. Besides that nothing.
I asked some of my friends what may be going on and they said that some kind of check failed in either my Engine or transmission and it reverted back to the default settings or something along those lines. Here is where this vast collection of knowledge comes into play. Is there anyway I can force my car to run in default mode or whatever at least until i can afford to fix the problem?
