Re: Manual transmission car dies in reverse?

It's the stock SI cable transmission.

Even if I feather the clutch and rev it to 4000RPM it dies the second the car starts moving (not like the ebrakes is on, more like an electrical problem)....

Manual transmission car dies in reverse?

1990 Honda CRX SI, with a d15b7 swapped in and obd1 conversion. Just started having this problem this morning. I can put the car in reverse fine, but as soon as I let out the clutch it dies. It idles...

Hi,

I'm in well over my head building an off-road only vehicle, using an engine and transmission from a Honda Pilot. I had originally built the frame for a mid-engine RWD configuration, however...

Re: Main Relay Rapid Clicking?

Problem = fixed. Took it to a shop who though it was the ECU, so I decided to take it home and put this issue to rest.

Sometimes it's the dumbest thing. The "power wire" I was testing was actually...

Re: Main Relay Rapid Clicking?

No luck with the new ignition switch.

When I unplug the IACV (which also clicks with the main relay), the clicking goes away but the car doesn't start, it just cranks with a CEL on even if I give...

Re: Main Relay Rapid Clicking?

This sounds really likely to me, I will buy a new ignition switch and report back.

Checked all of them with a multimeter, only one that was bad was the radio fuse (and I don't have a radio). The car starts fine when I tried it now. Garage temp dropped down to about 40 degrees, no...

Re: Main Relay Rapid Clicking?

Thanks. I just replaced these grounds, however I will double check.

And yes I know I could have got one online for $40.00, but I was pretty confident that it was the main relay seeing how it was...

D15 CRX Wiring Troubles

Re: Car Wont Move?

I don't know, I didn't disconnect the hydraulic lines, linkages (which can be a pain sometimes), or any of the electrical, and I had tons of room to work.

Re: Car Wont Move?

It was the clutch. I don't know what my friend did but it was worn well past those metal rivets.

I managed to do a clutch swap in an hour and half using air tools, and this was my first clutch job...

CRX Burning Oil?

Hi,

I have a 1990 Honda CRX SI with 200,000 miles on it, but the actual engine millage is unknown. When I first got it it was burning around 1-2 liters of oil per tank. Now 3000km later the car...

Re: Car Cranks but Wont Start

It's a brand new starter, and it doesn't really the the symptoms of a bad main relay. It doesn't matter what temperature it is outside it can only be started by push start. Even before when it was...

Re: Car Cranks but Wont Start

Thanks! It's a 1990 Honda CRX SI.

I just replaced the ground 6 months ago, but I will check that. I was suspecting the fuel filter as well, but I wasn't sure how to check it.

I just need the...
