Honda Accord 91 DX Help please
Hi, to be honest I was hoping to not have to go through a forum on the web to attempt to find a fix to this problem but here I am. Hopefully I can get some kind of awnser to this or I might take 'er to the "graveyard of lost cause cars".
My problem is this, when I try to start my car, before I even turn the key to even try to start the car, the sports light is blinking along with the engine light staying on. When I try to start the car it wont start. In the past I changed the speed sensor (brand new straight from honda) and also just recently bought a new TCU for the car. The problem still persists, thinking it was a manufactuer error I sent the TCU back (I havent had any problems with shifting or speedometer reading zero, so figured the problem wasnt speed sensor related) from whence it came. For the past 4-6 days the TCU was being run on a test vehicle so see if there was actually a problem with the TCU. Seems to be working fine on thier end. So, to be honest I have no clue what could be causing this problem. As far as I know there has not been "mods" so to speak on the vehicle, was owned by an older woman before me, and was the only owner. This problem didnt start until about a year or so after I had the car. I dont drive the car rough, change oil regularly, actually probably more than regularly (about every 1,500-2000 miles). Keep all fluids in it, check fuses about once a month. Another thing I have tried is to take the battery's negative wire off, in hopes that something eletronically would "restart" but of course didnt work (was a shot in the dark), replaced all fuses, still same problem.
Could there possibly be something else causing my car to not start and have the sports light blinking and the engine light on? If so, what could it be and what could I do to take care of this. Seeing as how I dont really have to money to buy another car right now, anything said would be helpful.
Swear this car has been the bane of my existance since about a year after I bought it.......
Something I forgot to mention, if the engine light DOES decide to go out, the car will start but seems to have to be "manualy" shifted and it's an automatic transmission. I would have to go all the way to D1 then D2 then D3 etc. personally dont feel very safe to be doing that, feel like something could go wrong doing that.
