Default Help!

Just this afternoon I was driving and my tack flicked up and down, when my 93 accord shiffted very hard for no reason at all. Then just up the hill my car died. We replaced the coil, distributer, and we still had no spark. Then I noticed when I turned the key the green light Drive4 lights up and then clicks under the dash and turns off. When we turn it over when that light is on the car pops, it gets a spark then dies again. Does any one have any clue what my problem is besides spelling and gramer?

Instead of buying a new one i plan on removing the current one and cleaning the screen filter if its needed.

My question is do I need to drain my ATF fluid before I remove this solenoid? I just dont want to take it off and have all this fluid leaking everywhere. Plus, I only have like 2 quarts left in my closet and my local shop isnt getting their next shipment of Honda ATF until friday.

It only light up once? There is a way to get transmission codes, you may have damaged your transmission. If it won't shift, its a safety mechanism.
