I was wondering what it means when this light flashes and the car does not want to start.My 93 Accord 10th anniversary has done this once and I am just wondering what it means.Someone....anyone please help.

 

how many blinks? probably an indication of a bad switch or solenoid -- the TCU
is probably malfunctioning ... could be just a simple short

the wire harness in the TCU could have tapped one of the main relay to the ignitor (explains why you can't start the car) since they do share the same bundle.

 

stays on steady.also i forgot to mention when it did start the gear that it was in that light came on as normal but the d4 stayed lit up and the car would not go past 2grand even to the floor unless it was in gear 1 or 2.

 

When was the last time you checked your sparkplugs or wires?
Was the d-4 blinking on the dash?

 

it's late -- no replies so i'm going to bed

try to get the ecu code by short'ng the blue two pronged service
check connector that hangs beneath the passenger kick panel

the CEL will flash a series of long/short flash that will ya the code

go here to decipher
