Check the codes and fix accordingly. Just pull up the carpet on the pass. side, and count the flashes. Long flash is the tens place, shorts are the one place.

Mines did that for awhile, until i replaced the O2 sensor with a new, so you might have to give that a try.Hope that helps

Well, that's obvious if the CEL was on, Honda employees don't give "civilians" much credit. You better ask them for a better explination to justify $200!
