Pull the CEL codes. A transmission code is being thrown.

If it's a B20 in a '96 - '00 it's going to continue to blink. It's near impossible to do an automatic B-series swap and have it work properly.

Did you just recently swap it? If so did you fill the torque converter with Honda ATF before putting everything together?

Are you under the impression that the blinking D4 light and driving problem are unrelated?

I'll try my best to make this simple for you. (based on 94EG8's post)

1) The blinking D4 light indicates that the ECU and transmission are unable to communicate with each other.

2) As long as the D4 light blinks, the car won't be driveable.

3) There is no simple solution for the D4 blinking light in your automatic B-series swap.

4) You needed to do more homework before you decided to do an automatic B-series swap.
