2002 Honda Accord v6; 7,000 Milles.

TCS and Check Engine (P1607) are on simultaneously.
Driving with these two lights on is a disaster. It takes time to accelerate the car with 2500 RPM.

I am not able to reset the Check Engine by Code scanner. I have to drive for about 3 miles and make a stop. Restart engine then TSC goes away, but Check Engine still on, then I use Code scanner and reset the Check Engine.

When these two light are off, the car runs like a champion. On the next day TCS and Check Engine (P1607) are on again.

Please help me to resolve this issue.
