Fried my ecu. Ordering one on ebay, I have a question about the ID number. I've got a computer with 37820-pt3-l71. The one on ebay has 37820-pt3-l72. Does this one number make a difference? (By the way, I've got a 90 accord ex 4dr, if it helps)
Thanks
My TCM looks like it's frying up but it's still running. In the mornings when starting up I cant shift to drive. I have to turn off car, put key in shift unlock slot in order to put gear into neutral and then drivable in low gear. I too am thinking of ordering a TCM unit on Ebay with some warranty. Driving in this condition is frustrating.
Your thoughts and input on is appreciated
Thanks for reading

I have a smiliar issue with the ticking. It is like a tappet noise but the lifters are all set to specs and correct oil is used 5w-20 and I have tried 5w-30 witout any appreciable notice.
It has been his way for 30,000+ miles without any problems so I assume whatever it is must not be too serious or it would have manifested itself by now.
The car runs normal when cold for about 2 minutes and then the tappet noise starts. After another 5 minutes of running it slowly diminishes and then stops entirely.
Both a HONDA dealer and an INDEPENDENT dealer that I trust cannot locate any problem and as long as it is not a mainainence issue I am not concerned.
If anyone in EDMUNDS land has an answer I and others would love to hear about it.
Thanks, BJ,
He found nothing and I still have the sound. I forgot about it until I read this thread.

I had an old Chevy that had piston slap, sounded like a loud hollow ticking sound. Kink of reminds me of the sound of hitting a ping pong ball.

My 90 accord ex is overheating. What can be causing this and what can I check? I have noticed the lower radiator hose is unusually cool to the touch, is this normal or does this mean something? Thanks.
When the TCM light (D4 light) flickers from time to time and drives at low gear, most likely it's a bad TCM unit correct? One mechanic tells me it's the solenoids that may need replacing. Is this true?
My TCM light has been on the blink for a while now and I'd like to get it fixed.
Thanks

When the TCM is bad, the D4 light will usually stay on constantly (not just blink). You may just need to do a fluid drain and fill, and maybe clean the solenoids and screens. This link has a wealth of information you can use to find the problem. Good luck
