Newbie 03 MT HCH I Check engine light on
Hi everyone!
I am overwhelmed by all of the interesting info on this site. I have been reading for 2 hours & only got through less than half of the 27 pages! WOW!
Here's my problem: I have a 2003 Civic Hybrid MAnual transmission. The check engine light has been coming on for about 2 years now. At first the dealer couldn't find anything wrong. Then they replaced the catalytic converter, then I replaced the EGR valve(which greatly improved my mileage & performance), then the light kept coming on, so the system told them to replace the catalytic converter again(they did). Now the light keeps coming on& they can't seem to locate the problem. Last week the computer said there was a misfiring cylinder, but they couldn' t get the light to repeat after resetting it. Then this week the computer said it was a code P0301. So they checked the spark plugs, coils, etc. but could not find anything wrong! They keep telling me that it might be "bad gas", but I never go to the same station all the time and I always use one of the "name brand" stations(Shell, Chevron, BP, Amoco, etc, as opposed to mom & pop stations). I always make sure to hear 3 clicks when I am replacing the gas cap.
Has anyone had similar experiences? I've brought my car in twice this week for that check engine light! I'm sick of this ........ Help!!!
Thanks,
Kim
