Issues That I've Resolved
ECU Problems:
If your main relay is clicking intermittently and the engine is cutting out, your ECU is most likely bad. A good indicator of this is no OBD port connectivity, the battery light on, or the immobilizer light flashing. To solve this issues, REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND ECU. The Alternator the MOST LIKELY culprit as to what caused the ECU to fail in the first place. After replacing the ECU you will need to take your car to a honda dealership to have them reprogram the immobilizer system.
ABS Light on:
Most likely a wheel speed sensor. Not ALWAYS but this is what my issues with it have always been. To determine what the problem is, Short the SCS circuit to body ground, turn the ignition key to the ON position, and the ABS light will blink. For example, one long and five short is DTC15. Two long and two short is DTC22. DTC's 11-18 are wheel sensor issues.
SRS light on:
Seatbelt sensor. (Unless you've been in an accident, then this doesn't apply to you). Honda WILL replace this under warranty for the life of the vehicle. If your SRS light is on, TAKE IT TO HONDA!
Engine Shaking:
Drivers side engine mount is shot. Order one from majestic honda and replace it, it will solve the issue.
The mount is #4 in this picture. Product number 462060 for $111.93 I'd recommend getting the whole assembly vs just the mount, because you can twist the stud out of the mount when assembling it. (which is bad and ruins the mount again)
I'll add a few more as I have time.
