CEL in the rain!!

Englishe30 · 04-15-2007, 05:38 PM

As some of you might know its a tad wet on the east coast today. well I was leaving my gf's house and pulled out in front of some cars forcing me to pick up the pace a little, I hit 5,000 rpm's and my car sputtered and loss partial power and the CEL came on....I pulled over immediately turned the car off and turned it back on after a minute. The CEL was still on but the car was running fine I pulled back on the road and took it easy until I got home. I got home turned off the car and turned it back on and the CEL was gone...WTF happened to my car? Keep in mind I have a AEM CAI as well...

a little to much water or mist in the intake.

Englishe30 · 04-15-2007, 05:43 PM

any possible damage as a result of this?

I experienced the same thing today. I was on the highway, so I decided to pass a car, I dropped it to 4th gear and when I hit 6000 RPMs it felt like it bogged then I looked down and saw the CEL blinking. I didn't pull over just eased off the gas and shifted to 5th gear. Got to where I was going and parked got some eats then got back in the car and was able to hit Vtec in first, second and third. Maybe it's 4th that's having this issue, or maybe it's the AEM CAI being too low to the ground. Oh well, I'm taking it to Honda to get a checkup.

Rain + CAI = Always staying in low RPMs
