i took mine apart and cleaned it and scrubbed the contacts shiny. i also regreased it with dieelectric grease. the old stuff was very black and grimy. i couldnt conclude whether or not it helped because it happened so randomly and ive since converted to manual. i took pics ill try to get them up.
its called a :read: neutral safety switch
Hey guys.
I have the exact same problem. It gets very cold up here. In winter the avg temperature is below freezing all the time. I know this problem very well. Couldn’t find any solution and every mechanic i saw thought that it was my transmission. Recently I had my tranny replaced. But again the same freaking problem at night if its cold. thanks for the post… Can anyone tell how to replace it? What will i need for that… post with pix will be awesome
Thanks again…

TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN
A/T WON’T SHIFT OUT OF PARK
Model(s): 1990-93 Acura Integra
Group: Transaxle
Bulletin No.: ASN 0695-02
Date: June, 1995
SERVICE INFORMATION
A shift-interlock-equipped car that won’t shift out of Park may have
a bad throttle position (TP) sensor. Measure the TP sensor voltage at
idle (refer to section 11 of the appropriate S/M); it should be 0.5 V
(0.3 V for 1990-93 Integras). If the TP sensor voltage is 0.7 V (0.55
V for 1990-93 Integras) or more, the shift interlock system won’t let
you shift the transmission out of Park. If the TP sensor is at fault,
replace the throttle body.
I replaced the TB same thing still happens.
Is it neutal safty switch or
“If the TP sensor is at fault, replace the throttle body.”
Guyz, now I’m really confused. Tonight its gonna be 33F. I just waited in my car for 2 minutes until the “P” light turned on. Its getting worst as its getting colder. I was gonna be late for my class today.
How much is it going to cost? One more thing. I live in a small town, mechanics here have never seen a fancy car like ours :bang:
What am I suppose to tell them? I don’t wanna get ripped off by some Asshole. :worry:
Thanks for the helps Though
The throttle body is way expensive (over 300 I think), so I would try other stuff first if it were my choice.
Where in upstate ny are you?
I thought it was maybe the SOLENOID ASSY. #9
I’m at Plattsburgh, very close to Canadian border. Montreal is like an hour drive from here.
I am not sure if i will be able to spend 300 bucks, but the fact is that the problem is very very annoying. It just burns my gas for no reason. All of us know how we are paying more and more each day for gas.
thank you so much for the tip. I have been getting really pissed off when it gets cold out. When I get some money I am going to get those parts and fix the problem once and for all
Edit:I just replaced the part #4, i sent to article with picts to the tegtips link and hopefully it will be up later.
wanted to bring this topic back up. i’ve been having this issue for a few years now. never really cared too much, but i figure i might as well take care of it now.
since your pics don’t work, can you give an explanation of what to replace and how to replace it? time involved and ballpark range of price. thanks

just take out the gear selector switch, take it apart, clean it really good, then take the contacts out of it and stretch the springs in the slider. then use some dielectric grease and you are good to go. total cost ? $0.99+tax
I have the same problems with my 92 Integra and my 94 Accord, someone needs to do a DIY write up on this with some pics of the actual part.
i thought i did one already but i can’t find it so here are the pics. should be self explanatory. just clean it up and regrease with dielectric grease. very easy.
XDEep - You are the man!! :burnout:
So the last pic are the actual contacts that need the cleaning? Thanks alot!
yep. they were very grimey. and for those doing the manual conversion, you can see which wires need to be joined in each position. its pretty interesting.
need help
Hey what is the #4 part called and can i get it from a junk yard or somewhere?
need help bad
need help badly because i have no heat.
Any help would be helpful guys!!!
thank
Try cleaning it first like someone else did? I wouldn’t buy that part used.
hey whats that dieelectric grease called? manufacturer?
