hey,

I have a 1990 Honda accord and I've searched all over the internet for info on the big "engine check light", whenever this comes on it doesn't start up at all (khekhekhekhe (sound before engine starts goes on for ever never catches), although in the winter (when it's cold outside) it starts of without any problems. No tech that lives around me can possibly figure out what the problem is (during the summer). I was told by one however to check the pcm/ecu, and i did, and then found the codes for it on the internet. I don't know if this is right, or if i read it right, i just counted the flashes (red led light) on the pcm/ecu board, and here is what i came up with, (these numbers kept on repeating).

first one was
1.) code number 1, and i found out that it was the oxygen sensor (it blinked 1 time and a long pause)
2.) code number 2, and i found out that it was also a oxygen sensor "B" problem (blinked 2 times)
3.) code number 7, this was the TP sensor, (throttle position). (blinked 7 times).
4.) code number 8, this was the TDC Sensor (Top Dead Center).(blinked 8 times).
5.) code number 13, this was the Baro Sensor (Atmospheric pressure). (a long 1 blink and then 3 short blinks)
6.) code number 14, IAC valve (Idle Air Control). (a long 1 blink and 4 short blinks).

And again, this problem only happens during the summer, but recently it's been getting worse. I am not a very "cary" person, so i don't know a lot about stuff, this is just from looking at the internet, and today i also noticed that when i turned the keys to one step before start, after a while the whole car shook (engine part) and then stopped. It was like a feeling of something dropping. Am i going to have to change all those parts? I of course will show this to the tech person. Please help, and any responses you have i will show that to the tech too, or shall i just scrap this car, because i took it to the Honda dealer and they said a faulty pcm costs 1100 dollars, that's just how much i bought this car for.

It won't start at all , I've had a friend who had the same problem but his started and then stalled (like there wasn't enough gas or something) and he changed the starter and it was fine, but mine it won't start at all, the sound when it's trying to start goes on for ever and ever. I've changed both the starters and the distributer and I am guessing that wasn't the problem.

I also notice a clicking when i press on the brake on the gear box (where the prnd1 is). The car started this morning and didn't have a problem, I didn't change anything, just does this when it's hot outside (around over 70 degrees f) but the error codes were still being displayed, also my car shakes when i put it into park (like too much load for the engine). Oh, and my brake lamp light is on, if that is contributing to anything. It goes away though after i fix it (after it rains brake light won't work).


thanks,

please help.

someone else

Most likely the main fuel injection relay. If I was just going to throw a part at a car thatr is the one I would do. It is very common on those cars and fairly cheap. I would give that a shot before trying anything else.

Hey it might be the fuel pump relay. my fuel pump wont kick sometimes and i have to cycle the key until I hear it kick.
