Transmission will not shift?

[quote="KHLow2008"]Hi rws68,

Before the early cutting off happened, did you do any repairs/replacement of the throttle body, Throttle position sensor or ECM? A wrongly adjusted/faulty TPS would cause the problem.

The tran throttle pressure cable is to be adjusted to have exactly no free play and start moving the lever as soon as the accelerator throttle valve starts opening, ie the engine starts revving up.

Hi KHLow2008,

bought the car as a spare and was not running. Put a new spring in the distriuutor and fired right up. Also someone said it may be temp sensor that it is telling the computer that the temp is at a certain degree? Would try but want to make certain tired of it nickle and dimeing me to death. Also read the computer and flashed #6 it had flashed another code a while back but forgot which. Thanks

I checked the ect terminals and got nothing. I warmed up the car turned off and checked again and got nothing. The 2 fans come on as soon as I turn the switch on? And the spring. There is a place in the distributor that I replaced a spring in it to get better conn. And it worked? Also the car will load up on gas and is hard to start up a little while after it has run awhile. I figured that the computer was telling it to give more fuel since the sensors were not reading right. Any ideas. Thanks wayne

I have a 1994 honda accord 2.2 liter automatic the transmission once it shifts to second I have no power even with the throttle to the floor very slow exceleration and passing gear will not kick in

I didn't test the socket I had tested the 2 prongs on each of the ect. There was no reading cold or warmed up. And the fans come on as soon as you turn on the switch. As for the weak spark I understand what you mean but you can smell the rich smell of gas like it is getting too much. I pulled out in yard to clean and 2 hrs later it spit and sputtered like loaded up on gas.I drove it to work a couple of time and after 8 hrs of sitting it started up spitting and sputtering but always clears up in a couple of minutes. The car always starts up fine when is parked and started the next day. Thanks

Transmission problem
1994 Honda Accord 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 100K+ miles

When the transmission warms up, about a mile to two miles, it wont shift into third. It has a mild leak. Any suggestionsother than take it to a mechanic?

Recently bought this 1994 Accord. Made some repairs and has been running great for the last 2 wks. Today I was driving in town today, no more than 35 mph, when I noticed the transmission was not shifting properly. I brought it to a stop and tried again. It shifts fine from 1st to 2nd then holds rpms to about 2500 before shifting 3rd. That is as far as I went for fear of causing any damage. I did notice the fluid was in need of changing but I had not done it because I have made other more pressing repairs so that I could drive it work. I need some help on where to start diagnosing the problem. From the research I've done there is no servicable filter without pulling the tranny. Could it be plugged? Could the shift solenoid screen be plugged or not operating properly and how do you test. I do not believe it is shot because this was the first sign of a problem and I did not continue driving it. Hopeful anyway. Thanks waiting for response.

Tune has been done. Engine is running great. Had problem with VSS but it was replaced and has been working fine. I need to know to if there is anything I can do to diagnose and repair. I really do not have the funds to take it to a tranny shop right now. I'm a pretty good mechanic, I'm in need of some direction. Are there any easy checks I can start with and go from there, I'll pull the tranny to replace the filter if I have to. Are there any procedures that can be done by home mechanic.

That tranny doesn't have a filter that is serviceable.
