Check engine light and d4
I have 93 accord 10th anniversary addition 179k. The check engine
light came on and the D4 started blinking at the same time. Checked the codes and came back with a 6 for the check engine light and 1 for the D4 light. Looked up the engine light code and it says that it is the coolent temperature switch. I cannot find what the code is for the D4. In addition, recently the idle has been intermittenly high after driving and then putting it into park. goes up to about 2k and sometimes surges. Sometimes it goes back down to normal (800rpm) and sometimes it does not. I did clean the IAC screen and checked the coolent level. I have also searched this news group about the D4 light but did not find any clear info. Any input would be appreciated. |

It just means the ECU is not receiving a valid signal from the switch. This could mean anything from broken wires to corrosion to a bad switch. > I cannot find what the code is for the > D4.

Both these codes can be the result of low coolant. If you've checked the coolant at the RAD and found it OK, you may have a Fast Idle Thermo Valve that's sticking open. With the engine fully warm and the idle cycling, remove the air cleaner hose from the throttle body and check the LOWER port in the throttle body with your finger. If there is suction, and the idle settles down when you cover the port, the FITV is sticking open. This usally happens when the cooling system has been neglected. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

I recently put in one of those hi- flow air filters which you spray oil on them to trap dirt. Maybe sprayed too much? |
