I have a 92 Honda Accord LX. Last year I flooded the thing but it worked fine the past year and a couple months. This is the sequence of events:

• (15 months ago) Flooded.
• Dried computures (car arose from the dead)
• (9 months ago) Radio goes (turns on off on off very quickly)
• (4

-5 months ago) Break lights come on occasionally

Now just within the week my D4 light has been blinking and have diagnosed it as the lock up control selonoid but I really feel its the computers.

Does the sequence of events sound like a computer? Or is it just a old car with 106,000miles on it that just needs things replaced?

Hope to hear from you guys!

 

Flooded as in - was in flood water? You probably messed up more than just computers. Your wiring is probably rotting/corroding away. There's a reason people don't purchase flood cars.

 

flooded where?? how bad? salt or fresh water?? what part of country you in?? help us help you

I live in NJ, it was salt water. It was high enough to get into the passanger side of the car and when i drove it out it died. 3 days later after drying the computers it started and worked great ever since last week (15 months or so with no driving problems). I opened the TCU up to see if any thing had been burnt out... nothing was seen.

 

saltwater=bad. very corrosive.

 

Your ECU and TCM "computers" are under the passenger side carpet. The D4 blinking CAN be caused by a bad TCM... I'd look into picking up a used TCM from a junkyard.

My old 92 accord's TCM started to go (or so i think...) and every now and then, the car wouldn't start with the D4 light blinking. Disconnecting the battery for 15 minutes or so usually fixed the issue, but it became a pain. I was unable to find a used TCM in my area.

 

Yeah, time to cut your losses and get out of this car
