1991 honda civic dx

Asked Jan 9, 2007, 05:28 AM — 1 Answer
Thank you for the replies to my previous question. I do intend to change the trany fluid n filter. There's sum minor things that need to be done like new plugs n wires. I've noticed a small missfire in a cylinder but no biggie. I've tried searchin the net but haven't had good luck findin what the shift lock release is... What exactly is it. I will prob have no need for it, but am curious as to what it is? I'm just trying to get as much info on he car as I feel the more I know the better I can service and diagnose other issues if they ever tend to arise. So anyone....what's the shift lock release? Lol

Interlock System

Many Hondas are equipped with the following devices to prevent inadvertent shifting:

. Shift Lock System. The shift lock system prevents the shift lever from moving to are or D4 from the Park position, unless the brake pedal is depressed and the accelerator is in its rest position. In case of system malfunction, the shift lever can be released by pushing a key into the release slot near the shift lever.

. Key Interlock System. The ignition key cannot be removed from the ignition switch, unless the shift lever is in Park. When the shift lever is in any position other than Park, a solenoid is activated, making it impossible for the key to be removed until the shift lever is moved to Park.

I have a problem with my 91 Honda Civic. The ECU codes are 1, 6, 7, and 17. I can start the car fine. After running about 3-4 minutes just idling it begins to seem to choke for fuel. Giving it more gas will help, but it still wants to sputter. If I drive it after starting it it will run fine...

Ok, just bought a honda civic dx, excellent shape and condition. I've noticed it shifts a little lazy.... Does that have anything to do with the shift lock release on the shifter? What exactly is the shift lock release?
