Just bought this car 2 weeks ago and I am now starting to notice the problems:

1. When I fill up the gas tank the pump keeps shuting off like the tank is full, about every 1/3 of a gallon.

2. The low gas light and the square around D4 do not light up. All the others like P-N-R-D3-D2-D1 light up fine. How do I fix this?

3. The power door locks and trunk release do not work. When I press lock or unlock on the keyless remote the side lights light up but the locks dont go up or down. There is a sound inside the door like they are trying to close or open. They also dont go up from the power **** on either door. The only way I can close them is by pusing them down into the door or pulling them out. Also, if i close the door but keep the lock up, and then open the door after around 5 min the security goes off and I have to stick the key in to shut it up. Could this posibly be a fuse or something else I can check before changing the actuator and how does it relate to trunk release?

I know how to do the keyless entry reset, are there any other resets or "secrets" that I can try. I heard if you disconnect your battery overnight it will reset your car computer? Is this good or bad to do periodically? Also, what is the recomended grade of fuel for this car? I am going to replace the transmission fluid, is it worth to buy honda made fluid?

Thanks in advance for your time, I am really greatful for any kind of help

 

1. try repositioning the fuel pump nozzle (pull it out just a little)
2. could be many things like bulb, wire, sender from shift, or computer (since this is the light that flashes computer codes)
If the key-less entry makes any kind of sound inside the doors, it is probably working. Maybe they were disconnected by previous owner (aftermarket alarm).
Disconnecting the battery for 10 seconds should clear the codes. Every time you do this, you will have to redo the radio presets (I hope you have the radio code).
I would definitely recommend using the Honda ATF Z1 fluid for the trans. Good luck, and happy Hondaing

As BLKFLSH said, use only Honda's ATF
You may regret it if you don't.

 

Also was this the right way to go? I had a busted strut on front passenger side:
