2000 Honda civic engine light wont turn off
First you need to pull the engine trouble code to see what the problem is.
First check to make certain that your gas cap is on properly. Remove the cap, clean the surfaces and replace it back on and the restart your car. This works about 8 out of 10 times.
If not take your car to one of the local auto parts suppliers like AutoZone. They will plug a monitor into your computer plug and read out the error codes for you FREE of charge. They can tell you if it's a bad fuel cap, a bad oxygen sensor or what. They can also price the parts, or you can opt to take it to a repair facility if it sounds too difficult.
SOURCE: my 2000 honda civic engine light on code p1456
Hey I had the same code and I have a 2000 honda civic lx. My cousin
works at honda and drives a '96 honda civic and he has had that code
before on his car as well.
First thing he came up with was that the catalytic converter was
cracked. We checked mines, and lo and behold, that's what it was.
Look under your hood, and there should be a catalytic converter with a
sensor sticking out of it. It is connected to the exhaust manifold and
the sensor sticks out of the heat shield. Around the sensor, look for a
crack. If there's a crack, that's your problem.
