D4 light started blinking as I was driving, did not stop until I turned the car off. Light even blinked when the car was in park.. I'm not sure what this means, please help.....

It means your tranny computer is throwing an error code. I'm not sure what's the procedure for reading codes on a '94, maybe there's a plug for you to jumper forward of the shift console?

i think you got the same problem that i had . it happened to me yesterday . did your speedometer also dropped to zero ? if it did i am guessing it is your speed sensor on the tranny . but you can try to pull the code yourself just to make sure .

yes it did drop to zero, but then picked back up, and drop again, and picked up again...

yeaa . i am guessing you have a bad speed sensor and might have to replace it . but if you want to check what kind of error code you have anyway . there are two harnesses right under your glove box . it should be blue on the accord . take out the two terminal harness and use like a jumper wire or paper clip and connect it to both of the terminals . turn your ignition to on and check the engine light on the dash to see how many times it blinks . the long blinks are the first digit and the short blinks are the last digit . e.g. 1 long blink , pause , then 7 short blinks . then the code should be 17 (speed sensor) . hope this helps .

Have you replaced your sensor? wonder how hard it is?

tonezilla

the sensor should not be hard to replace . all you have to do is remove the electrical connector from the sensor . there should be two retainging screws on the sensor . just remove the screws and take out the sensor from the tranny . the only difficulty i had was that the sensor was in a tight location . just remove your intake to make it easier to get to . but other than that it should be no problem . hope that helps .
