nope sounds like you are looking in the wrong place.
the main relay is to the drivers side of the steering column above the cruise control unit. All you can see of it is the bottom where the plug is.
You have to lay on your back on the drivers floor board and look straight up

Blinking D4 indicates a tranny problem.

Well that's what it says in the handbook for my 94 Accord

Will a Flashing d4 prevent the car from running?

Thanks

I replaced the rz-0088 with a used one and it seems to start faster now... Not that it was so bad before when it wasnt too hot.... it just catchs as soon as I turn the key now.

Thanks for all your help!

Robert
