Hi!
I just purchased a 2001 Insight with about 95K on it. I got in in April when Honda was doing the free inspection deal, got a clean bill of health and haggled a great deal (with a trade factored in I think I spent $6700 on it). I drive mostly in town, and bought some octane booster to see if it would help me out in the horsepower and fuel economy. Stupid me, I put the 16 OZ bottle of it in when I had just filled up the day before! I had no problems yesterday, but today, after hitting a bump in the road, my check engine light came on! Did the bump cause the fuel to splash into the charcoal cylinder? That's what I think happened, and if so, will burning off some fuel make the problem go away?
Thanks!
