Yes the teg-tip does say how to check for both 90-91 and 92-93. Read it again. There are threads on how to check cel for 92-93. Search harder. ---

It is all there. READ. "You must jump a connector and then your Check Engine light will blink to tell you the code. The connector you must jump is located under the glove box and should be green in color." :bang: Helms is repair manual. ---

If you are low on oil you are either leaking or burning. It makes no difference if you have vtec or not. :roll: ---

thats about 110 K miles, so probably not the rings unless you rape it every day possibly valve stem seals or just some leaky gaskets. have any oil stains under your car in the morning? blue smoke is oil white is water/coolant black is gas normaly, dont qoute me
