Hi all,

I have a 1991 Accord. The sports light comes on when I start the car,
and remains on, though the sports switch is in the 'off' position. The
acceleration of the car from a stop is much slower, and the
transmission is not shifting at all.

Has anyone had this problem? What is possibly wrong?

Thank you,
Fijoy

As Dan has written is might be your transmission control computer. The other
possibility is a faulty sensor that is monitored by the transmission control
computer. It would be instructive to know the code that the TCU
light-emitting diode is flashing. The module itself is probably under the
carpet under your passenger's left foot. It has a small window through which
the lamp may be seen. Don't confuse it with the adjacent engine control
computer.

Do a search in the Honda newsgroups for "TCU." That will lead you to some
details of diagnosis.

Thank you all for the responses. I found this page which describes
diagnosing and fixing TCU problems: http://techauto.awardspace.com/transmission.html
