DOHCRX

sup...well ive had my b16 in my crx running for like a month ran awesome, then all sudden i turned key on and there was nothing..battery is perfect, plenty of voltage, but just a click...i went under the hood moved a couple ground wires, check the starter connection, battery connection and i kept trying and trying and nothing then i went to try it again later it fired right up..then i shut it off a halkf hour later nothing again..also when it did run and i was givin it to her it felt like it was a little lame, and it hit the limiter right before 8 grand and it was real warm, im wondering if it had a bad ground...anyone?? thanks

99.9% sure it is your main relay! Go geta new one from the parts store, replace it, and I am sure you will be on the road again in 5 minutes.

You can test it.

Rob!

it sounds to me like main relay or your ignitor...you can replace both fairly cheap but i would do the main relay 1st cuz its cheaper then i would go ahead to the ignitor...i actually have an extra one because i thought mine was bad but it turned out it wasnt after i went to honda and bought a brand new one...ill let it go for cheap and its small so shipping is nothing... if not its cool always something good to have.

i had the same problem with my car............ i would go out to start the car, get a click and the car goes dead


fiddle with the ground wire a bit and it starts right up

clean the steel or aluminum under the ground terminal and then do it up tight, don't just fiddle with the wire...
