Honda Odyssey Malfunction Indicator Light

did the light flash on and continue to flash? or did it come on and stay on?

It flashed on and off. When I restarted the car it was no longer on.

do you know if they checked for engine codes? usually when the MIL light flashes it will give a code and store it. the dealer can read the codes, but usually charge a lot. or you could go to autozone or advanced auto and have them check for codes for free.

They tell me that no code was indicated. Don't know if this is because the light flashed on and off and thus didn't "register" anything. They told me the same thing the first time around. I have an extended warranty on the car so am not particularly concerned about cost. They decided to replace some sort of valve (can't remember the name--EGR?) because it was clogged. In addition, I pulled up some stuff that I found on the internet about other people having similar problems and even a recall back in 2003 after some owners experienced a similar problem as I described. Hope this solves the problem. If anyone has any other ideas of the problem or have experienced the same thing, please let me know as I am not totally convinced that they found the "cause" of the problem--thinking they just wanted to fix something in order to get me to shut up!
