You can look up check engine codes yourself, but the description of your problem is very vague. It's impossible to diagnose a problem when you write two sentences and we can't see it ourselves...what is it, where is it coming from, when does it happen, what car do you have, etc.

The D4 light flashes cause your transmission has detected a malfunction.

its a 95 Honda Accord lx 2dr f22 basically what happend was one day i got a spoon chip for my old ecu i had worked on it my self and fucked it up and when it fucked up i turned on the car and the check engine light comes on it idels rough and you can rev it or make it shift past 3200Rpms.. and sucks gas like no tomorrow so i said fuck it, i got the sport ecu you from spoon racing then and it still has the same problem...the instructions say that the enige is getting ahead of it self and that i need to retard the timing be even doing that isnt going to fix everything. I mean it happens right when i turn on the car... then a few seconds later the d4 light flahses and stays like that...i disconncected the battery and everything before installed it and still no luck

Is your car heavily modified?

Did you get the 94-95 ecu like we told you or did you install the one you had?

"SPOON custom ignition and fuel curves ADDED"

There ya go...enjoy your custom mapping since apparently you don't trust the engineering Honda did.

Realize that you wasted $150 on a poorly engineered ECU that's probably not meant for stock engines and put your old ECU back in?

When you do things like change the ignition timing and fuel maps you have to compensate by doing things like modifying the camshafts or adding FI...it's not as simple as just squirting more fuel into the cylinders and expecting to gain 20 horsepower, unfortuanetly.
