UPDATE -92 Civic LX-I started the car OK. After 3 minutes the engine cut-off and car would not restart. No spark from the distributor. I replaced the igniter, distributor, main relay, and the ECU (computer.) Car works OK again, but...

NOW the car has to be started in Neutral "N". A/T shift lock is not working properly. Also, after drving the car 80 miles, the engine started to "kick" or miss while idling/stopped at a traffic light.

I welcome any clues to what can be the problems.

take off the shift lock console and see if there are any frayed/cut wires

 

I checked. All wires are clean with no visible wear. There are no foreign objects present to block the shift lock solenoid's operation.

 

Checked all fuses today and all are good. Brake sensor and throttle body sensor are next areas for suspicion. Any new suggestions? Thanks!
