Any symptoms accompanying the error code?

Speedometer working OK?

Is your lockup torque converter not locking up?

How old is your engine's thermostat?

You can find codes at

Actron's description is incorrect for Honda. See my other post.

well, it has been acting like it is skipping gears for over 6 months now. All of yhe mechanics I take it to say that is just how an old honda drives?!?!?!?! I had two themorstats put on in the past 6 months and the speedometer works fine, the rpm one on the other hand doesn?t. It jumps around like crazy. I am actually throwing my hands up on this one and calling quits. I am not putting anymore money into a 96. But i appreciate your help!

If the tach is jumping around, you have an igniter that's intermittent. Unusual, as they normally fail outright.

Replace the igniter. Bet that gets rid of both problems.
