    Starting Problem

    I have a '92 Honda Accord EX-R. It has an automatic transmission and lately i've been having problems starting it. It seems to be getting gas and spark but it just cranks and doesn't fire up. I notice the D4 indicator flashing green around it in my gauge even though i'm in park. So i leave it for a couple of hours and it fires up right away. Note that when i do get it fired up, the indicator on my gauge is in the park where it should be but not flashing in D4 when i had problems starting. Anybody have this problem before?

    im thinkin if your d4 light is flashing then its deff a tranny problem .. look your car up for recalls and crap on the tranny ... cause your car wont start if it dosent think its in park or nuetral(manual) and it might be your tranny ecu like someone else said
