Ok so I just joined and just picked up this 1990 4 door CB7 as a family car since I just won full soul custody of both my kids from their crap mother. My other car is a 95 EG Hatch that iv been slowly building on for a long time now. Getting rid of my hatch was not something I was willing to do and this CB7 just kinda fell in my lap.





I got the car for 500.00 bucks and the only real dent the car has is a door ding on the rear passinger door. It has a TON OF MILES, 278K when the speedo broke and I have no clue how long its been broken.

The AC was not working but yesterday I spent 50.00 bucks on converting it to R134 and charging it and so far it "seems" to be working good.

Ok so im sure im going to need ALOT of help with this car cus I know NOTHING about CB7's!!!! I got the car for the kids and I really need help getting it to DD status as fast as I can.

So to start and what I need help with the most right now:

I can crank up the car in the morning and it runs great. Then I can kill the car and try to fire it right back up and it just turns over but wont fire up. If I let it sit for awhile I can go back outside and it will fire back up.

Lastnight it did this and the only thing I thought it could be was either a fuel filter or pump going bad. I thought I found out it was the pump when I was cranking and it didnt crank up, So I hit the filter a few times, tried and it fired up.

To me that said filter so I got the car home and threw a new filter on also throwing in new plugs, wires, and a VC gasket since it was leaking. I cranked it up after all the work and it fired right up.

I let it run for 15mins or so and she purred like a kitten. I then killed it and tried to fire it right back up to no luck. It just turned over and would not crank up again.

I got mad went inside, then an hour later went to try to crank it again and it fired right up.... At this point I REALLY dont know what to look at and im hoping yall know whats wrong with it. Any and ALL help im very thankfull for...

Also im sorry, Spelling owns me.

First see if there are any stored codes. Your CEL light needs to be functioning for this to work.

Scroll to the bottom of the page.

If the speedo isn't working hopefully its something simple like a failed VSS.

The common problem attributed to no start issues is a faulty Main Relay.

But also could be the ignition switch itself.

Read through all those pages and albeit you will be set in a couple days.
