hi guys !! good morning firstly i want to share you my problem.. si heres my story .. i had my car oil changed then also the tranny oil change and engine. then after i had it checked for loose bolts so we can fix all of them right after i had my j's racing intake fix because the snorkel wasnt properly aligned then had a carwash after two hours i got the car from the carwash and drove it for about 1 hour going to my friends party about 200kms away from my home im halfway already when i noticed that my idle when i was on traffic went up... my normal is about 850-950 plus coz i have a apexi rsm but it wnet up to 1500-1700.. then i tried listening to the sound of the idle so i had to put my car stereo to mute mode when ever i push the mute button there was a popping sound comming from the speaker.... so i thought it was only a litlle short on my wiring so i continued driving but when i was at the freeway the car felt really slugish like there is hindrance on 4k-5k rpm so i was nervous of what it could be then started driving really slowly monitoring everything on my car oill pressure,oiltemp,watertemp and fuel pressure also batery voltage.. oh by the way i have aftermarket gauges installed DEFI. then while driving slow i noticed my water temp gauge from the stcok cluster of the car went down from 3 bars. then 2 bars then 1 bar.. but when i looked at my defi gauge the reading is 190f on the link and below 90c on the gauge but on the stock gauge its 1 bar so i said to my sell sh#t my car fuc#$ed up.. then it was very timely that i was very close to the toll exit which is near our honda service center. so i went to the exit turn off the car. and then tried to tun it on then the CEL pops. but the car started normaly still it has CEL the i drove for like 1km to our service center checked the car reset the ecu by removing the neg on the baterry then the cel is still there plus it was really hard to start the car.. it will start athe the rpm will just shoot up to 4500rpm all by it self with out me stepping on the gas..... and the temp gauge thing is still there still at 1 bar even thouh my DEFI is reading 190f... i really really worried guys what could be wrong with my car???? you think the engine is damge?? or is it a sensor or wiring problem?? thanks so mcuh!! oh by the way i had the car wire tucked. thanks so much guys!!! pls hep me!

there is no way you can expect someone to understand any of that. Use a spell checker and re-read what you wrote and then try again bud.

How do you expect us to answer when we can't understand the problem? I quit after the first three lines.

Thanks.

OP, I can only guess, but I suspect that the coil packs (on top of the spark plugs) got wet when the car was washed, and that the water is shorting the high voltage to ground, causing a misfire. If this is the case, you will probably read a misfire code when you attach a code scanner.

The first step in nailing the problem down when there is a CEL is to read the code, and if possible, that's what you need to do. OR, you might just try making sure that the coil packs are dry, clearing the code, and seeing if the problem(s) go away.

DO NOT drive the car if the CEL is flashing.

step 1, get the CEL code...

then yada yada yada...
