I am having some problems getting my car to turn over; the engine cranks. belt move, getting gas from the fuel pump, no electrical shortages, but I noticed that the spark is very weak. I had a mechanic pretty much confirm what I had tested out already as fine but we tested out a new spark plug to see if I'm getting a spark, he couldn't see the spark, but I was able to see it, but it was very weak. Could this be related to the ignition coil or distributor? The bottom line, the engine cranks but doesn't want to turn over. My car was fine and this problem started a few days after I had changed my radiator.

Replying to: cybercool (Oct 14, 2009 6:26 am) No. I think you have another bad transmission computer. Your computer is operating in "fail safe" mode (stays in second gear). If the D4 light stays on constantly, the computer is bad. I remember that much from my 92 Accord service manual. If you were to take the panel off of the computer you would probably see dark spots on the circuit board. That would confirm it. Where did you get this computer from? Used?

I have a 1990 Accord DX AT with 188,000 but the motor has about 91,000. My problem is I have a normal and sport bottom on my gear shift. when riding in the normal mode the sport light on the dash will start blinking, but it still rides normal. does this sound like big problem and what do I need to do.

Replying to: rchester (Oct 14, 2009 6:55 pm) Read this link. It has a wealth of information about the "S" light, among other things about common Accord problems. Good luck http://techauto.awardspace.com/transmission.html |

Replying to: cybercool (Oct 15, 2009 3:56 am) Have you checked around at auto parts stores? Or searched online for refurbished computers. They can be fixed, but it's not something I could do. |

Replying to: rchester (Oct 14, 2009 6:55 pm) It probably could have been done for a much lower cost, but it was still worth it to me. I've had no further problem. Here's a site with a straight forward easy to understand explanation. When I first read it, I thought that I had written it. http://autorepair.about.com/library/faqs/bl853d.htm |
