My wife took my car to Wisconsin Dells and is now stuck.
(can any one recommend a mechanic?)

Its a 1993 Honda Accord with Automatic Trans
216K miles.

She was driving parked, then went to go back to the hotel.
Started the car and nothing. No forward or reverse. Emergency brake is
not on. Air works Raido works etc. The car is not moving forward or backward. Ideas? Never had this happen before.

 

1. The car starts and it just doesn't move?

2. Any Check Engine Light or flashing S or D4 light?

If the car starts, then have her shut off the car. Open the hood, and pull the 7.5A ECU back-up fuse and check if the fuse is blown. If it is not blown, have her re-install the fuse after a short while and see if the car can now move. See this link for the image of the fuse location.

Troubleshooting ECU Symptoms.

It may possibly be a transmission control unit (TCU problem) if the car can start.

Correct!

2. Any Check Engine Light or flashing S or D4 light?
No flashing nothing wierd.

She is far away so I broke down and had it towed. ...
Hope they can fix it.

 

Haven't seen you in a while......and hate to like this. Hey, hope for the best, could be a simple as low fluid......hope the best for her and the car.

 

Well it turns out to be something simple but my mess up. I replaced the radiator and in doing so must have screwed up a clamp for the trans fluid which ended up being low. Just bad luck it happened to my wife rather than me. I drove the car for a week before this to make sure it was OK. Low trans fluid from a leak induced no shift.
As far as not being around posting.. Sorry 3 kids dog and a sick Dad and 100 degree heat has eaten into my time.
Plans are mostly on hold. Replaced my radiator in 90 plus heat and got sick. I was waiting for summer to try and repaint my Honda but got 90 plus Chicago heat.
Not to worry when I replace my rotors/ front end I will post pic's and make comments.
Everyone have a nice day :-)
PSS at 235K miles the car will have basically driven to the moon. Thats only 18K miles from where it is now. My goal is to have it drive back. LOL

 

Glad to hear things are okay now.

 

Glad it was something easy a lot better than a new trans.

Don't take my comment wrong, life comes along for all of us and we have to do what we need to do. Just saw your post and thought we haven't seen much.

Take care and good luck to everyone.

PS- I gues my 95 is half way back at 380K
