Shucks! In hindsight, I wish I didn't clear the code! Damn you RAMH for
making us competent and self proficient Honda owners!

Unfortunately I
have no scanner, just a paper clip. I guess I'll have to try the test
procedure and see if I can trip the code again. Could a bad tank of gas
cause this? I took a trip up to NJ from VA and got gas from a shady looking
Getty, I thought maybe the gas guy just didn't twist the cas cap enough
clicks but the code was not the evap canister one.
