Honda Car Forum

Hi, can someone help me with a problem I have with my 1986 Accord

I recently took it into a Honda dealer and they told me I have a Code 3 warning on the computer.

Does anyone know what a Code 3 warning means please? The car also has a few other problems and I believe that this may be causing
these too, but I can't say for sure till I sort this out.

Problems like:
Idling too fast,
Weird behaviour with the transmission Lock Up System.

All assistance is greatly appreciated,
and thank you for your help.

Cheers
Mike the Kiwi

Thanks Chris, I also have seen this webpage since I posted the original notice, but do cars in NZ have map sensors? I'm not sure
if mine's an import or not, how would I find out?

Hm, I have no idea ... I guess you could look at the VIN number.. The
first digit/letter would tell you what country it was made in .. Not sure
if that would tell you if it was made FOR your country or not though.
Best thing to do would be to wait for someone in the newsgroup who is
100% sure of what they're talking about ..
