| What Nordstro says could be correct and could cause your light.The check engine light isn't a maintenance reminder so you should have the code pulled from the computer to see what it was that caused the malfunction. It may have been something that happened that day that it came on but best to get it checked..The most common thing for your year would be a misfire code which was being caused by oil leaking into the spark plug tubes.Good luck | |
| Thanks for the input. The light went off yesterday, but I'll still take it in to check it out. | |

I had a recent problem with my passport and wonder if anyone can give me some advice. '98 model and about 85,000 miles. Passport had lost power and "check" engine light came on. Ran ok, but would not accelerate from 60 mph on freeway (very dangerous in Atlanta). dealership said was egr valve and back ordered part. They said it was ok to drive and got the part about 3 weeks later. Repaired it and I drove home. Next day, I started accelerate to merge and it just totally lost power. Almost couldn't go slight incline to exit. Now, dealer says both catalictic converters had "collapsed". Does this sound right to you knowledgable folks? We're talking over over $1,400 just for parts. Did driving with bad egr valve cause damage to converters? thanks for any thoughts you may have Cptom |

| I purchased a 2000 Passport EX-L about two weeks ago. I loved it until I had to come to an immediate stop. The anti-lock brakes were activated and they worked fine. However, when I continued driving I noticed the ride was much rouger. I feel "shaking" coming from the floor board and it sounds very noisy. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any ideas as to what happened? | |

| Hi! Every so often I hear a strange noise from the rear of my Passport. The best way to describe it is as a vibration. I hear it after I step on the gas to get going after a stop or coming out of a turn. It usually stops after I get up to speed. Others who have heard it think it may be coming from the exhaust system. Any ideas of what this might be would be greatly appreciated. It was in once for this problem, but of course it did not make the noise for them! Thanks, Kelly | |

| I have a 97 Passport and experienced the same thing. In and out of the dealership during the first year with no results. Someone with a similar problem solved it by burning only Amoco 93 octane gasoline. I started buying this gas and my problem has disappeared. When I've tried to go back to buying some cheaper fuel the problem comes right back. Sounds strange, I know, but I have no problem as long as I use the Amoco 93. Fred | |
| I am considering the 2000 Passport EX-L. Have you resolved your noise problem? If so, what was the cause? I would appreciate any additional comments (especially if they are negative) about your Passport. And....if you don't mind me asking... what did you pay for yours? Thanks for your help. | |

| I have a '99 Passport with a terrible vibration at highway speeds (the worst occurs faster than 60). Has anyone heard of a body kit (dealer installed?) that remedies this problem? | |
| I have a 99 passport and have had it in the shop 3 times because the engine light comes on. The last two times an additional problem came with the light. The passport will accelerate by itself. the last time the service department said that they fix it but a month later I have the same problem. Now I also have a noise after the doors are locked. I have already had one close call when the passport drove itself almost into the back of another car. Has anyone had similar issues? This honda seems unsafe. | |
| If the car accelerates "by itself", it is indeed unsafe. Please don't drive it. Please make very careful notes regarding the circumstances of the "self acceleration" and provide this information both verbally and in a letter to the dealer. If the dealer response is not prompt and thorough, report this same information to the Honda zone office. The reporting procedure is detailed in the owner's manual. This type of problem is associated with the cruise control or throttle linkage and should not be difficult to fix. It is probably not associated with the "service engine" indicator light. Please take action right away because the vehicle is already unsafe and the condition could worsen. | |
