Help Please: "Check Engine" signal lit up!

Hi!

Just wanted some tip on my Honda Civic. I got a Civic Hatchback 98 DX, this
morning the "Check Engine" light came on and afterwards their was a bad
smell of 'eggs' that came from the vents.... Does anyone have any ideas on
the problem(s)??

Thanks,

Jason

Thanks for the link!

Someone told me that it could be a faulty catalytic converter (sp?) or the
battery? I dread going to the garage!

with a $99 code scanner and a helm manual you can diagnose just about
anything.

probably oxygen sensor

my local autozone said "they dont do that any more", and tried to sell
me a scanner for $150.
