Hello,
I have a 2008 Accord EXL Sedan Auto. Its got about 28,000 mi on it. I always get the oil changed when needed. Never use inferior gasoline (use Shell and Gulf), didn't have any mods done to it, didn't change to a different gas cap and never parked on materials that could damage the CAT converter.
The engine light went on today after a 7 mile drive on a highway doing about 65 mph. I did NOT get gas recently and the cap was fully tightened. There was about 3/4 of a tank of gas in it today when it came on. It stayed on after several attempts to drive and turn the car on and off. So according to the manual it could be something related to the emissions if not caused by a loose gas cap. So I'm thinking of bringing it to Honda tomorrow to look at. Is this common on this model and year and also what are other possible causes? Is this something that needs immediate care?
Thanks, Al
