Check Engine Light Flashing
Bought my s2000 in 2000. It has been the best car by far that I have ever had. I have done a couple of brake jobs and a clutch in 14 years and 185k miles not to bad. Have a had a ton of fun driving the car. My check engine light started flashing coming down pch from Malibu. I have had it parked since then. It starts but feels like its running on 2 cylinders. I think it is some kind of miss fire situation. It has been parked ever since. I live in Sunset Beach near long beach. Can anyone recommend a good Honda mechanic. I have a feeling it is going to cost some dough. Please let me know thanks Mike.......

If you are at all DIY-inclined, have you considered buying a code reader? They run $15-30 and they'll tell you the exact error code and should get you pointed towards a fix.
For mechanics in your area, try https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/845...acks-services/
If you're near Long Beach, try Aliso Viejo Auto Service (http://www.yelp.com/biz/aliso-viejo-...-viejo?q=s2000) or Ballade in Garden Grove (http://www.yelp.com/biz/ballade-sports-garden-grove)

If you go to Autozone you can get the code read for free.
A flashing CEL is probably a misfire. Have you checked your spark plugs and your coil packs?
I had a flashing CEL that ended up being a misfire due to a burnt valve. Hopefully yours is a much cheaper and simpler problem.
If it is a bigger problem, there are some handy people on these forums that may be able to help you out.
If you're near Tennessee, jordanksartell was able to rebuild and install a head for me for a very fair price.

Take it to a near by mechanic that offers the code reading for free and just fix it yourself.
