k just told him hold up thanks alot sir

f22vtec1

1 is the only one that has power !

Former User

He needs to test 5 with the key in ON(II). Does it now have voltage? When he jumps 5 to 7, he also must turn the key to ON(II) and then listen for whether the fuel pump primes.

f22vtec1

he said nothing between 5 n 7 only 1 n 7

Former User

Even with the key in ON(II)?

f22vtec1

yes

Former User

This suggests that your friend did not find fuse 24 and test it. Fuse 24 is most likely blown. When he locates fuse 24 and finds it blown, please tell him that he's a knucklehead.

f22vtec1

he said 24 has power

f22vtec1

k now he says he found 24 and it has no power at all ? but the fuse looks fine

Former User

Bad fuses don't always look bad. You need to test them.

Have him turn the key to ON(II) and then test for voltage individually at each of the two top metal test tabs of the installed fuse. Do both tabs have voltage?

f22vtec1

he said he took the fuse out and used a test light and that the line is dead there's nothing there ?

f22vtec1

no power at 24 with key on

Former User

I am not sure what he has done. Please answer this specific question:

f22vtec1

ok my friend was hiding **** from me so he wouldnt look dumb lol but ya 24 was dead now im curious what caused it to pop?

Former User

Only worry about it if it re-pops. I work way too hard trying to get members to check fuses.

f22vtec1

i feel you on that it was like breaking teeth to get him to actually do sumthing i asked him ! sucks cause it was over the phone i wasnt with the car but can i have a idea on what might cause it too pop?

Former User

-Inadvertent grounding of the wire while working on the wiring.

-An electrical short in the main relay/ECU/fuel pump circuit.

f22vtec1

thanks man your a life saver ! wish i had all this knowledge

f22vtec1

another issue hes throwing code 19 car used to be automatic but its been stick for like 8 years any idea why it would throw that code now?

Former User

He's has an auto ECU but needs a manual one.

f22vtec1

no he has a ecu from my old 94 5 speed maybe its a code 9 hes not the sharpest tool in the shed

Sorry to butt into this thread. My step-daughter was driving and made a turn and her 93 Civic stalled and wouldn't restart. Got it home no spark no fuel. Replaced the relay and distributor still not spark.

Found this forum checked all fuses and then jumped 1 and 7 the fuel pump primes. Jump 5 and 7 nothing. Checked the problem fuse (24) and it's good. Get voltage top and bottom with ignition in II.

What's the next step since the OP's problem was the fuse?

I also noticed when I put the ignition in II the park and D3 light are on. Not sure if this is normal or related.

Thanks in advance.

15A dash Fuse 24 ----> Blk/Yel wire ---> main relay connector

Your tests suggest that the Blk/Yel wire is broken somewhere between the dash fuse box and the main relay connector. Based on your test results, the Blk/Yel wire terminal in the main relay connector will lack voltage to body ground. Pierce the insulation of the Blk/Yel wire at points further away from the main relay connector and dash fuse box to test for voltage in an attempt to pinpoint the break in the wire.

Ok after checking and finding power at terminal 5 blk/yel. I redid the jump and apparently didn't get a good connection or it was too loud earlier because the fuel pump primed.

What would be the next check?

No spark and we were getting no fuel when changing the fuel filter earlier.

Does the D3 light being on when ingition is in II mean anything?

Thanks for your help.

Resolder the main relay and clean and tighten the important G101 ground wire attached to the thermostat housing:




This is most likely a separate problem.
