HELP - Stuck in 4th Gear
Hi i have a problem. When i Throw the car in drive it is stuck in 4th gear (starts off at 4th gear from 0 mph) from what my mechanic told me. It drives normal if i shift manually (not shiftronic) using the d1 to d2 to d3 etc. but wen i throw it in d4 it seems to be always be there. my mechanic told me he needs to check the wiring first see if theres a short in the wires. if thats not it he needs to replace the ecu. I told him not to do anything yet. this is because i wanted to get some advice on what you guys think it might be? the mechanic also check the silenoids and told me thats not the problem. ADVICE?

Can't this guy hook up a scanner to the car and drive it while monitoring the data coming from the PCM? He can see if the logic side of the PCM is working by that.

check engine light is on. the guys said its not a wiring problem because he checked all the wires. and it wasnt a ground problem. which only leads to one thing. the ecu.

I've never heard of a "performance ECU" for an Acura. Maybe it blew out before because of wiring problems, so he replaced it so that his vehicle would "perform" until he traded it in or sold it.
