Hello,

Vehicle- 1991 Acura Integra LS Coupe automatic with 237 miles on the chasis.

Recently, was repairing and replacing my Thermostat. I removed my Distributor in order o get to it. I believe I replaced it properly.

Here's the problem.
The automatic transmission shift lever usually has a delay after the vehicle is driven and in park. It usually takes 30-60 secs before the S3 moves to P even after I have shifted into park. Now, the problem is that it even wants to shift while I am driving. I think one of the relays are out.
Either the Automatic Transaxle Interlock control unit, the Automatic Transaxle control unit, or the main computer.

I cannot drive the car more than 1 block before the Yellow check engine light comes on, while the Automatic shift lever starts making a 'CLICKING Sound

Then, it has a hard time starting because the automatic shift lever shows that it is in Park and S3 and the same time.

Have the car scanned for codes, an auto part store won't be able to do this as it may be a trans problem and most auto parts stores only pick up engine codes. Especially since your service light is coming on.
