Civic LX 3.2L
I own a 2002 Honda Civic LX. Many complaints here, mention the same year car. Last November, my car's "yellow light" (looks like a gas tank) came on, and at the exact same time my car would not shift into second gear. My car manual says this light could mean a loose gas cap. For a while, it actually helped when I tightened the cap; the light would go off. If not, in order to get my car into second gear, I had to push down on the accelerator to kick it up the next gear--my car is manual transmission. Auto Zone and my own garage said the "light" error meant I needed to have my Throttle Position Sensor adjusted. This adjustment cured the problem and lasted from November to this April. Now my garage is telling me I need to replace this Sensor. It will cost me about $250. I actually haven't had it done yet, because they need to order the part. Anyone else having this problem?
