My 96 Honda Accord shows the "Check Engine Light" on. I went to Autozone but they said they can diagnose only cars 1997 and onwards.

Does anyone know what are the likely causes for this and how/where/who can diagnose and fix it?

Thanks!

i think on 96 there are only 3 total codes. i would think a mechanic could diagnose it.

"What year is your car?"
-"2003"
"Oh, so sorry man, our machine only reads 2004 and newer."

96 is ODBII, they just didn't want to deal with your shit.

Go to another Advance or Autozone, they'll scan it free. Let us know what code it gives, we might can help.

Yeah you likely didnt speak to someone who knew what they were talking about.

Who cares unless you are up for inspection.

^ if it's something like an O2 sensor it will affect gas mileage and driveability. If it's maybe an EVAP code it's more likely to just prevent you from passing inspection.

we are land rover owners, what is gas mileage and driveability?
