do you have an owners manual for your car? because the engine light blinks in code to tell you whats wrong with it. and the guide is in the owners manual. check there first

 

Thanks for the post.... You can either go to autozone and have them scan the code for free or look through this forum for OBD 1 Diagnostics and it will give you the procedures to read the codes yourself and then post them.... When you say it runs bad what does it do? sputter? jerk? die? underpowered? what?

 

on the passenger side there is a blue connector under the right side kick panel. jump the two terminals and turn the ignition on and count the flashes the check engine light makes on the dash. that will tell you the code. it sounds like you have an o2 sensor going out. autozone actually wont be able to check the code because your car is not obd-2

 

i would hazzard a guess that maybe a sensor or ignition module is having intermittent failure........get the codes and tell us

 

well autozone said they cant help me becuase they do 95 and newer.so someone told me to jump the wire and i got 4 slow flashes then 3 fast ones. 3 means map 4 means two different things ckp sensor are vaccum switch ps to the makers of honda auto form thanks for the place to get help wish there were more poeple like you......

 

4 slow & 3 fast is code 43. That's kind of a generic catch-all fuel-system code that could be from a bad O2 sensor, bad injector, or incorrect fuel pressure or a few other things.
