While traveling through a tunnel across the Chesapeake Bay, the check engine light comes on, quickly followed by a quick flashing oil light. Pull over immediately after exiting the tunnel and turn the car off. Pop the hood, check the oil and find there is plenty. The car won't start at this point - won't even turn over! Honda dealership did not have a clue and wanted to take apart the engine piece by piece.
Had it towed to a local mechanic. He got it started but the engine is knocking with ZERO oil pressure. Only solution is to replace the engine at 105k miles! Replaced the water pump and timing belt at 103k miles. Had oil changed regularly. So disappointing that this happened on a car that should easily go 300k miles with regular maintenance. Anyone else have similar problems?
