Replaced the Distributor, Coil & Main Relay in my 1995 Honda Accord 4 door LX. Now the Check Engine light is illuminated and the D4 light begins to flash shortly after start up.. Grr. Have checked and everything is plugged in whats the problem ? $300 spent and now a problem and issue I didn't have before...

    D4 code-14 means the ECU is not responding to the TCU. The CEL light should be on solid which indicates the ECU computer is not functional. You can confirm that by shorting the SCS plug. A running ECU should output the codes on CEL or turn off CEL if no code is stored.

    Two common causes of ECU failures are: 1) bad capacitors, and 2) faulty barometer inside the ECU. Capacitors replacement is quite easy to do but not the faulty barometer. Honda uses a custom barometer by Motorola which has gone out of business. The Motorola barometer was not designed to last 20 year. Getting an identical used ECU from junk yard likely will have the same issue. You may have to find a late model ECU for parts.

The best thing you can do is pull the code and work from there.

http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=21259

this thread shows you how to pull the code without using a scanner. its pretty simple. the only reason i can think of why your d4 and check engine light would go on at the same time would be either the main relay you installed is not the correct one or the speedometer is giving problems now. hope this helps. goodluck, and if you need more assistance, let me kknow

D4 light blinks CEL lit up and car will not start, fuel pump not priming, why?? on 1995 Honda Accord

D4 is a transmission problem. It wouldn't cause the car not to start. If you don't hear the pump coming on when the key is turned on, Most likely the pump died. Could be the fuse or wiring also. Check grounds. Both could be a bad ground.

Could very well be the main relay, limiting power to all the electronics in your car, causing the problems you've mentioned. Have it repaired or replaced.

92 honda accord lx it will start when it is cool outside but when it is hot it will not start. have already replaced distributor, coil, main engine relay switch. Can u tell me what else it could be ?...

I had the same issue happening with my 92 accord lx. I replaced the main relay and the issue was resolved... Was it the relay under the dash and hidden by the cruise control box you replaced? It is located under the drivers side dash, tucked WAY up there behind the cruise control box. This relay controls both the spark delivery AND the fuel pump.

If this IS what you replaced, it is more than likely still an electrical issue since the syptom only occurs when it is hot. This means an electrical connection is expanding and not connecting when it is hot. If the relay was replaced, it is possible the ECU may be having issues.

1992 Honda Accord LX won't start - ignition problems

I would remove the distributor cap and crank the engine over . If the rotor does not turn , then you need to replace the timing belt. The timing belt needs to be replaced every 60 K. If the rotor turns then make sure you have spark to a spark plug. Run a compression test on each cylinder. The basics to run are compression, spark, fuel and timing.
