Got me a 89 Accord LXi from a guy at work a few months ago. Car looks awesome and runs pretty good. Anyways, 3 things have come up recently and i need some input on how to fix them. First, the gear shifter moves up and down thru all the gears even with the car off ( its an auto). With the car on i can press the brake and hear the clicking noise coming from the gear shifter like its suppost to to let the shifter shift gears but i can put it in any gear with out pressing the brake. Second, on cold mornings the car dosnt want to reconize its in park and it takes a while to get the keys out. After the car warms up alittle inside i can play with the shifter until the red light comes on on the dash and i can get the keys out. I read somewhere that it might be a dust and grease build up that is keeping a small ball from hitting a detent, not 100% sure though. Third, check engine light was on when i bought it, i have done a tune up on it but need to know how to find out what is throwing the CEL light. Thanks and ANY input would help out a bunch.
