Default D4 blinking and car keeps turning off

my car didnt have any power, no crank at all, after messing with the battery terminals the car turned on but the d4 light was blinking and the car wouldnt go foward, i had to almost floor it, for it to go, when i got home i turned it off and started it up again and it worked good, i need motor mounts, wen i shift the car jerks and the motor moves, can that be the problem? is this a bad tranny? or is it something simple? thanks

D4 blinking indicates a problem with the TCU. You should replace the motor mounts, but I doubt they cause the blinking. Is the problem consistent, or have you only had it once?

Bogus Post ! ! !
79 Accords didn't have D4 lights nor TCUs.


But if they did you could jumper the service check connector and get the codes

See if you can swap the TPS with a friend or something and see if it solves the problem. EGR ports might also be clogged too, adding to the problem
