Default 91 Acura Legend- the classic D4 flashing problme: suspecting it may be worse than i thought...

so heres the run down


what the dash is telling me:

the check engine light comes one after a few seconds of driving (havent been able to track down a place that can scan it for less than $100 because its OBD-1)

the transmission light (D4) will flash once driving no matter what gear it is in

the odometer will act sparatic but most the time will sit at zero


Completely different:
annnnnd the fuel gauge is out. but the fuel light will come on once its low. suspecting its the fuel return and not the float.

not to mention SRS is on...

how she runs:

she will die once i come to a stop while shes still cold

smokes when i pull away from a stop

sometimes after i take a left turn it will take a little while to slip into gear

and once i get into higher rpms she will kick (slipping)

dont know if these are cause by the ECU going into limp mode or if these are signs of transmission failure

so what im trying to say is if anyone know when i can get my CEL (check engine light) and CTL (check transmission light) scanned somewhere besides the dealer so i figure out what the hell is going on!

besides guessing and replacing parts such as the speed sensor

Use a paper clip to jump the harness and read the flashes like that. It will tell you the CEL and the D4 problem. I did this with my GF's Accord that was throwing a D4 code.
