Whoa !!! Canadian Tire can't accurately predict whether the SUN WILL
COME UP IN THE MORNING !!! That's pretty bad if your dealer is so
terrible that you'd think Canuck Tire was the next best thing in town
:-( :-(

There are some capacitors in your ECU that fail when the vehicle gets as
old as yours is. (I'm having a hard time finding the link ) there's a
good page that tells you what needs relacing, and you just pop the unit
out, go to somebody with a soldering pencil, and get them resoldered.
Meantime, you didn't say how many times you've changed your tranny
fluid..... Use only Honda fluid.
