hello everyone:

any help with my problem is appreciated. here we go:

i own a 1991 accord dx with an automatic transmission. so far it has burnt up 2 atcus(auto transmission control units). i changed the 12 volt battery and the ignition switch, electrical portion only, and still the problem persists. i spoke with a mechanic recently and he said to check the transmission solenoids, that one may be grounding or shorting causing the atcus to burn up.

does anyone know where these solenoids are and how to diagnose them? money is tite for me now and i hope to fix the car myself. thanks so much. sincerely,

bec
