Hey I have a 2000 Acura integra and the rpms rev high when I accelerate and bounce when I’m not accelerating also I have a check engine light on and my speedometer isn’t working Mechanic's Assistant: Does the light stay on, or does it blink? The check engine light stays on Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Integra yourself? What have you tried so far? I replaced the speed sensor Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? Its automatic and I can feel it shifting hard when I accelerate and decelerate


Is the mechanic here?
Automotive Expert
Hello and thank you for your question. My name is James. If the engine light is on, there will be diagnostic trouble codes stored in the ECU. If you have an OBDII code reader available to you and can write down the codes we can start to get the problem narrowed down. If you don’t have a code reader available then you, lost auto parts stores like autozone will read the codes for you at no charge.
