This only happens when I start the car, never while I'm driving it. The lights will turn on for a few seconds, then turn off. Should I take it to the dealership?

Should I not be driving my car?

 

u should take it to the dealer. your car can explode at any time.

 

Is it really that serious?

 

All that will happen is the dealer will explode your car for you, then charge you 1 hour of labor.

 

Well, I sure hope they don't charge flat-rate, because I can blow my car up myself in well under 1 hour.

What are my alternatives?

 

I'm hesitant to take it to the dealership. I brought it in for an oil change, but they also made me flush my power steering fluid, put in a new transmission filter, and rotate my tires. They said I needed a new EGR valve and a MAF sensor, but I couldn't really afford it. Maybe this is the problem? Should I have replaced them?

 

Oh oh, better check the steering. The dealers always forget that the S2000 uses a special power steering fluid, different from all the other Hondas. I always change my own power steering fluid. It goes in that little white plastic filler tube, on the passenger side of the car right next to the hood hinges. By the battery.

 

I topped that off with B&M Type F.

 

Uh oh, they didn't put this stuff in did they?

There's no link to purchase from that site. Is that a reputable vendor for KaleCo's products. I heard they were very rare and hard to find, but you can't go wrong with KaleCo.
