It has a lot of helpful information on the 4th generation Accord (90-93). It may help you narrow the possibilities. Good luck http://techauto.awardspace.com/transmission.html
#1662 of 1756 Green S light by maggiem1952 Aug 18, 2009 (7:58 pm)
I have a 1990 honda accord lx and recently i have been having problems with the battery dying. I believe it might be the alternator but also the check engine light is coming on and also right before the car dies this green s light comes on. What does the green s light mean can anyone tell me? Thanks. Replies to this message: elroy5 (Aug 19, 2009 1:25 pm)

Replying to: maggiem1952 (Aug 18, 2009 7:58 pm) I believe the "S" light is for the "Sport Shift". You can read up on it, at this link. http://techauto.awardspace.com/transmission.html PS: You might want to save this link, for future reference.
#1664 of 1756 sudden acceleration by riccardo2 Aug 19, 2009 (3:37 pm)
I have a '91 Accord EX, with an automatic transmission and only about 55,000 miles on it. I would like to keep it as long as I can. About two months ago, I had the timing belt replaced, and then the gas gauge, and then only a week or so ago a relay switch to the fuel pump, after it would not start. I was ok driving for about a day. On the past Saturday, as I pulled front first into a parking spot at a shopping center, the car suddenly revved up and lurched forward, as if both the transmission and throttle had gone crazy, with a loud screeching and clunking sound. I stopped it by putting the T Bar in neutral and applying the brake pedal. I had the car towed back to my mechanic. He says that he has gone over every possible site for a problem and finds nothing wrong with the transmission and fuel system. At this point, I am very reluctant to drive it. Does anyone know the solution? Replies to this message: elroy5 (Aug 19, 2009 6:34 pm)

Replying to: riccardo2 (Aug 19, 2009 3:37 pm) This type of thing has happened to me before. You push on the brake pedal, and don't realize your foot is also on the accelerator pedal. It's easy to do, because the pedals are so close together. Maybe this is what happened to you. Lucky for me, and you, we didn't hit anything. This type of thing happens all the time, and people swear the car accelerated on it's own. Many accidents are caused this way, and statistics of numerous investigations have indicated the cause to be simply driver error. Do an internet search on "sudden acceleration", and you will probably find this is very common.

elroy5,   Thanks for the answer. But I cannot agree that what you suggested is what actually happened as I use only my right foot on either pedal. Your suggestion is frequently given, but first look at this site for some disagreement and discussion on this matter. http://home.comcast.net/~nessim1/SuddenAccelerationNotMyth.htm   Then "google" the phrase "sudden acceleration". It's apparently a wide spread problem that the manufacturers have strongly fought to deny. There is a wide consensus that there is much more to it than driver error.

Replying to: riccardo2 (Aug 20, 2009 2:50 am) Very interesting. I can remember seeing a 60 minutes show about sudden acceleration, and they had basicly said the instances were 99% driver error. Have you had the cruise control cable checked out? I would like to know if you find this is the problem.   But I cannot agree that what you suggested is what actually happened as I use only my right foot on either pedal.   You definitely can push both pedals, at the same time, with only your right foot. That's what I had done (I never use my left foot to drive). I was pushing down on the brake pedal, but the side of my right foot was still pushing on the accelerator. It was very scary, because I wanted to stop, and pushed harder on the brake pedal, which also pushed the accelerator down even farther. I am not saying this is what happened to you, just saying it can happen, using only your right foot, as I do.
#1668 of 1756 1990 Honda Accord EX by jercrawford Aug 21, 2009 (5:27 pm)
I just bought a 1990 Honda Accord EX and i love it. Has 187K miles and runs like a tank. All prev. maintenance has been done!   Just a few problems.. When i turn the car off it wont restart and i have to wait a good 5 minutes till it will turn over again. I changed out the fuel filter and the problem still exists. Possibly Vapor lock?   Tranny shifts hard! Another forum tells me it can be corrected by adding a bottle of Lubeguard conditioner to the automatic transmission fluid.    I dont wanna blow a bunch of money. Can you help me troubleshoot!?
