95 accord no lock up converter
2.2 automatic, converter used to lock up then it stopped, it kills gas mileage, any ideas or help?

Is the D4 lamp flashing? Jumper the SCS connector to read error codes for the transmission (instructions somewhere in the DIY section).
I'm not much of an expert on automatics...
One of the valves on the transmission is for locking up. Look for wiring problems at anything plugged into the transmission. The computer & error codes cannot tell the difference between a bad valve vs. some wiring pulled apart.

only code I get is abs code18. that's another issue, that will be next, the d4 light never flashes so I assume no code in transmission

Just want to make sure that my previous post is clear for others that may come across this thread.
There are some transmission codes on the 94-97 accords that do not cause the D4 light to flash while driving. There are no stored TCU codes if the D4 does not flash when you short the connector to check codes.
Just to be thorough, does your D4 bulb work in the cluster when put the gear selector into D4?

yes it comes on when in run, bulb does work, if I jump the test connector the only light that flashes is the abs light

I pulled the solenoids off, screens clear, resistance good and they both click when 12 volts applied

How is the condition of the transmission fluid? When was the last time it was changed?
The lockup solenoid is on top of the transmission. It is really 2 solenoids A/B that get switched on by power from the Transmission Control Module (TCU).
It looks like both solenoids should have 12V while driving to turn on the torque converter lockup. I'd probably back-probe the each electrical connection, then connect
a separate test light to each wire. Route the wires and bulb so you can see them outside the car.
If you are getting power to the solenoid and no torque converter lockup, then the issue is internal/hydraulic. It is possible the solenoid is clicking but not working mechanically.
If you are not getting power, then you have a wiring/TCU issue.
