I'm a new Element owner so I tried to find posts about the engine error codes but I could not find anything. I found one that was applicable to other Hondas.
Last night, when starting, I noticed the engine maintenence light came on and blinked then went off. About three blocks away as I slowed to make a turn, the engine cut off. It will start and drive but only if you put your foot on the gas pedal. It seems that it idles so low now that it just cuts of.
I checked the connection to the throttle position sensor and it was fine. This morning it started and ran fine. I went to my local auto parts store and they put a code reader on it but it showed nothing. It acted up again as I was leaving. It will drive fine as long as I keep my foot ready to step the idle up when needed. For the most part is is fine but it starts up again unexpectedly.
A couple of people have mentioned checking the idle air sensor. How many more sensors could there be.
How do I get my error codes and where can I decipher them. Do I need to go to a Honda service center?
