Re: Clutch noise when not engaged

I feel dumb asking this but it is possible that I just didn't have the clutch cable adjusted properly? Can an improperly adjusted cable cause the throw bearing to ride the clutch splines?

Re: 90 crx hf

You are describing the classic symptom of a bad Main Relay. The solder cracks on the connections over time and causes problems when its hot. You can take it out and pop the cover off to resolder...

Re: How much did you pay for your EF?

$2300 for a 91 stock HF in 2005, $1200 for a 91 Si in 2007 and $2000 for a stock 88 HF in 2008.

I've driven the 88 from Fairbanks, AK to Jacksonville, FL and back. Plan on doing it again this...

You can bypass the ignition circuit by unplugging the connector (BLK/WHT) from the starter and running a jumper from the positive battery terminal to the starter solenoid terminal. Make sure the car...

Re: 91 crx hf clutch problem

Yeah, sounds like something is loose in the pedal area that is affecting the shift and the positioning of the clutch interlock switch.

Re: 1990 Civic DX w/ auto acceleration bogging down

Sounds like a timing/distributor issue. If it ran good as gold for 3 or 4 days I would recheck the timing and ensure everything was properly tightened. (distributor bolts, etc.)

Re: 91 crx hf clutch problem

With it not even trying to turn over I would start with checking the mechanical structure of the pedal and making sure you have the correct pedal disengagment height and free play.

I have an 88HF and 91HF both completely stock. My best is 58 mpg in the 88 and 53 in the 91. I don't windmill or anything, just gentle driving.

Re: 91 Crx Hf vin

The DMV has a process for registering a vehicle without a title. For a shell I doubt it would be very much more than a normal register.

I don't think what you want to do is legal.

Re: pump turns on but no start

Some background info leading up to the event may be helpful to readers offering help.

Did the car just die on you or was it running ok prior to doing some work on it, etc?
