Default RE: Stalling accord

First tell us what year/model Accord. You should add to your signature line to avoid this in future.

S-light on early 90 models was caused by a trans code being set. Short the service check connector and read S-light flashes for the code. Long flash for 10's digit and short flash for units for 2digit codes. Some codes are single digit, short flashes only.Post the code for help.

good luck

The troble code is a 7, throttle position angle? Where is that sensor located? Is it easy to replace.
Thank You.

The throttle angle sensor is not available as a part, and entire throttle body w/ new sensor is sold by Honda. Only option is to buy a used throttle body assy. I found them at car-part.com for < $50 readily available.

It is possible that you have damaged wiring or damaged connector to the throttle angle sensor, or a faulty A/T control unit. You may want to download a shop manual from http://www.hondahookup.com/manuals/and go through the diagnosis chart to insure it's not relatied to the wiring.

good luck
