July 1999

My check engine light came on with the tcs light one year after having my entire steering rack replaced. On 10/06/03 (and 81,372 miles), I took my vehicle to the local honda dealer. I told the technician that again I felt my car driving rough and sluggish on accelerations. They asked me what kind of gas I was using.(?) found code p0420 "catalytic efficiency below threshold. Intermittent code". The dealer reset the light.
