I bought my daughter a 93 accord se (used of course) for her 17th birthday, It made it from the scammer who sold it to us to our house, then died. After calming down, and not going to jail(just kidding), I managed to by a junkyard motor, cleaned it up and installed it. The motor runs great I have no regrets there. Her motor was a f22a6, the motor I replaced it with was a f22a4. I used the a6's intake on the a4 block because of the vacuum box or whatever it is thats on the back of the a6's intake. Everything went together great. I also used the existing tranny. I flushed all fluids, and replaced them all up to specs. Here's where the problem(s) come into play. After driving the car for about 10-15mins the engine light comes on and the transmission acts like its slipping ( high rpms no go). The funny part is while the car is moving I can shift to neutral turn the key off then restart the car and the problem goes away, at least for another 10-15mins, then the whole process stars over. I have pulled the code from the engine light it is 12 egr problem I have cleaned it twice, cleared the code, but still get the light I will check solenoids and such next for that problem. This car drives like a dream until the engine light comes on, The D4 light never comes on ever. The only code I get is 12. But sure enough when it comes on the tranny acts up. I pulled the TCM and gave it a good look it appears to be clean nothing out of the ordinary. I have cleaned all transmission sensors and solenoids. They seem to be working or at least there are no codes from them. The transmission runs great until the engine light comes on. Should i be able to get D4 codes on this car if its a transmission problem? Can the code 12 cause a tranny type issue? I have tried to look these type problems up, and this seems to be the most knowledgeable forum on the net. Sorry for such a long post, but I wanted to give as much info as I could. Thank you in advance for any ideas.

Hi all, I have an automatic car and was wondering, is it safe to put my car in neutral while waiting at a red light? I just dont want to put too much force on brakes while waiting. I've been doing this for a while now. Thanks cybercool

Replying to: cybercool (Jun 30, 2009 5:09 am) I would be more concerned to the wear and tear to the transmission shifting it in and out of drive/neutral. Brakes are alot cheaper then a transmission. Mrbill

Replying to: elroy5 (Jun 30, 2009 3:35 pm) Lets say you did shift the car into neutral, unless your on a level road, you still need to keep your foot on the brake to keep the car from moving. Just seems like alot of work for not much (if any) gain. Mrbill

Replying to: mrbill1957 (Jun 30, 2009 5:09 pm) I've had cars in the past (65 Pontiac Bonneville, my first car) that would stall, if you didn't put the transmission in neutral. My first Accord would vibrate, if the A/C was on, and I was sitting at a stop light. I would put the car in neutral, if the stop light was going to last a while. The V6 engine in my current Accord doesn't vibrate at stop lights, but from what I hear some of the 7th gen 4 cylinder cars do. In Louisiana, 99% of the roads are very flat, and there is very little tendency for the car to roll in neutral. Even if it does roll a little, it takes very little pressure on the brake pedal to stop it. Just trying to give some reasons for putting the car in neutral. Some may make sense to you, and some may not.

Hi guys, I have accord 93 10th anniversary edition. A couple of days ago, the Check Engine light came ON on the dashboard. After some researching on the internet, I found a way to find out what is wrong. I found out that the Exhaust Recirculation System is going out. What the heck is it? How long can I go without repairing it? How much will it cost? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
