    Your 96 Accord has On Board Diagnostics level 2 (OBD2) it requires a scan tool to plug into the 16 pin diagnostic socket under the dash not bridging the two wires near the glove box. If the light is on there is a problem code stored. See if the air temperature sensor became disconnected during cleaning of the throttle.
