Engine light has come on!
Driving home from leicester, was about five minutes into my jorney home and a engine symbol lights up on the dash. Is that a CEL as offen refered to on here?
Well anyhow the car seem to drive fine and when i got chance i checked that i still had some oil in. It was still at the top of the XXXX sp np prob there. Not sure if it was me looking for something but the car did seem to drag/slow down more when coming off the gas. All very stange. I even tried the time honored off and on trick to no avail.
Should i still be VTECing? certaining feels ok beyond 7K. must get booked in tomorrow. More$$$

As long as it's not flashing I wouldn't worry too much. Sometimes you can just get a blip. I have a suspicion of what it is!
Car should be under warranty, so get them to check the code FOC.

Personally I would be taking it nice and easy until I find out exactly what the problem is... Probably nothing serious, but get it to the dealer asap to sort it under warranty!

I'd put money on the lamba sensor, just had mine done on a 2006 (under warenty), and i'm sure i have read quite a few have gone on the last 3 years worth of s2000's, think honda got a duff batch!
