Thanks sickhonda for the link on the Throttle postion sensor. I have not had the D4 flashing for some time now. Last time it happened was at least 2 months ago. Seems to have disappeared. Was not looking forward to buying a new TPS.

Could someone please send me the link for the site about the flashing "S" problem. I have a 90 Honda Accord EX that has this problem. It also has a problem going in and out of lock up. I unpluged the upper servo and that problem stopped. But the flashing "S" is still there. The transmission changes perfectly, just doesnt go into lock up. Im sure that I would get better gas mileage if this was fixed. Thanks for any and all help.

hi guys... iam having a problem with my car. everything works fine when i did the swap with my 93 accord. but when your about to start the car the D4 light keeps flashing and keeps comming on. also when the car is started, the RPM and MPH keeps going on, even though its on park. is it because the D4 lights keep flashing or something, let me know if you guys can help. also sometimes my car would start, and sometimes it would not, it would just crank only... let me know if you guys know whats wrong with it, and let me know if you guys can help, thanks... or you can send some infor to [email protected]

the speedometer reads in MPH, the tachometer is RPM

[sniper1837]

i know what MPH and the RPM is, i just want to know how come everytime when the car is started, the PRM and MPH keeps going up or keeps reving everytime, but then when i shut the car off, it stops, anyone have any clue or idea whats going one...

Thanks 94tegRS, honest mistake.

[94tegRS]

no prob, but i dont understand sniper, you mean if your cars not moving, the tach and speedo just keep climbing? does the engine rev with the tach or do they both go on their own?

[sniper1837]

ok heres the problem, both the RPM and MPH rev at the same time, like when your driving. also, when its on park, the car tend to move, even though its not on drive. another thing. my D4 light is flashing code 7 and 8. my manual says its a throttle angle and TDC position. does anyone know where those are located, and what i would have to do to have it fixed. also this other site says code 7 and 8 are shift solinoid'A' and shift solinoid 'B'. does anyone know where that is located too and what i would have to do to have it fixed. let me know if anyone can help, pics of the shift solinoid 'A', shift solinoid 'B', thorottle angle, and TDC position would be great for me to locate the parts, thanks guys, thanks a bunch...

I have the same problem with my 91 Accord (117K miles). Sport Light starts flashing, Check Engine Light comes on, Speedometer stops working. When I turn off the ignition, then turn it back on, everything is OK.

This has happened twice in two years. Also on a couple of separate occassions, the speedometer started acting flakey, dropping to zero, then shooting up, then zero... Until I turned the ignition off and turned it back on.

Since it's only happened a couple of times, I'm not sure if it is a transmission problem or not. It does seems to me the vehicle doesn't shift as nicely as it used to (seems like it doesn't want to shift).

Tried to send email, but it wouldn't let me.

Please send me that link you talked about relating to the speed sensor.
I'd like to know where to find it in the engine, and where to purchase one. Thanks.

I had same problem with my 91 accord, the "S" light suddenly flashed and the speedometer drop to zero. This happened a few days after I replaced a new battery. I would appreciate very much if someone could forward the links where I can buy cheap speed sensor and instructions to replace it.
Please forward to [email protected] .

Thanks in advance.
