    1989 Accord LXI CKE light and OBD codes

    I own a 1989 Honda Accord LXI 2.0 manual transmission w/ 160,000 miles
    New wires, plug and oil change 3/20/2007.

    Just recently my check engine light came on while I was driving on a highway at a sustained speed of 75mph. I pulled over immediately and noticed the car was idling very low (around 500-600rpm). I want to check my OBD codes but I do not know how with a Honda. Thanks for your reply.

    Okay, I found the ECU. It's under the drivers seat and can be accessed from the behind the seat. I had to move the seat all the way forward and pry off a small plastic tab to see the LED which displayed the codes stored on the ECU.

    The code I was getting was 14 which translates to a faulty IAC unit. I'll pull the device apart, inspect it, clean it, and see if that solves my problem. Thanks!
