Transmission control module by tigeriii

I was told that the TCM probably needs to be replaced on my 97 Accord. Would a problem with the TCM cause a car with a new battery to not start and then start a few minutes later?

Yes, I believe it could. If the TCM is malfunctioning to the point where it thinks it's in gear, the engine will not start. Not saying it is definitely the problem, but it could be. When the TCM went out in my 92 Accord heat was a major factor. The hotter it was inside the car, the more problems it would cause.

Aloha,
 
I am new here. My ABS light comes on and off sometimes and starts making a clicking sound, the speedometer drops and sometimes when i come to a complete stop the car completely shuts off. Last night the car wouldn't even start. I disconnected and reconnected the battery cable and it started up. Please help im not sure what to do or how to fix it.

Does your cruise control work, "maintain a set speed".
If your cruise works, that tells you the vehicle speed sensor is good.
If the speedometer bounces around 20 mph, the speedometer head is bad.
Honda calls the speedometer cluster "combination gauge".

I have the same problem and made the sistake of purchasing a VSC and it was not needed, I finally just purchased a GPS which gives me my speed and it has been the least expensive solution.

96 Honda Accord EX is Really Loud when I accelerate by zileki

Hello--
 
I just bought a '96 Accord EX Wagon (automatic transmission) with right around 100K miles. The car seems to be running well in many respects, BUT...
 
...it started out having a faint, but still noticeable fuel odor right when I started it. I also began to notice a high pitched noise when driving at low speeds. More recently (I've only driven it about 2,500 miles), it started to become very loud when the transmission shifts between up in low gears (it could be doing at high speeds too, but I just don't notice because of road noise). It sounds like an exhaust/muffler sound, but it also feels so sluggish that I worry it could be a transmission issue.
 
I really love this car and want it to last a long time. Any advice before I take it to the mechanic?

how hard is it to change out the brake lines and fuel lines that run from the master cyl to the rear of the car

ABS Question by sooner_chot

Lately on my 95 Accord EX Sedan, I have noticed that I hear my ABS pump more and more while driving. Typically, I would hear it after a cold start and that would be it for the day. Now, I hear it after each start, and sometimes while driving.
 
The ABS warning light does come on after several miles.
 
Any ideas?

Yep... your ABS pump is bad. Very common in those years for Hondas and Acuras. Frankly, I'm shocked that it has lasted this long for your car. Pricey repair too.
 
FWIW, the brakes still work and the ABS still worked the one time I needed it way back when. My son is still driving it and I think it has over 230k miles now.
