I'm not sure what's wrong now...

But it started out as a Main Relay issue on my 1992 Acura Integra. However, i was able to get it to start sometimes, or if I worked it around some. In a rush, I was able to get the car started eventually; not thinking, I had removed the cover to the relay and attempted to put it back on the metal 'knee buster'. As any idiot would expect, it sparked, and the car immediately shut off.

After swearing and disbelief, I attempted to start it again, and unlike before, the check engine light remained on. Thinking the Main Relay was just fried, I bought a new relay from Acura (after much hassle and one wrong purchase). After putting the new relay in, the check engine light remained on and there was no change what so ever.

All of the electronics still worked and i even tried getting a jump and no change.

Please, can somebody help point me in the right direction.

 

take it to a shop and have a scan tool hooked up so you will know what code your throwing. that would be your first step IMO.

 

I'm working on getting it towed someplace since it won't start. Thanks.

Any other ideas? My dad seems to think I might have shorted the computer out.

 

does it still want crank over and want to start?

 

It sounds like it's trying to crank, but there's no fire, and no clicks from the Main Relay (old or new)

 

have you checked the spark plugs and wires. that might be whats throwing the code but im not sure just and idea.

 

Thanks, I'll be sure to double check that tomorrow *nods*

 

im gonna guess its somewere in your starting system. i currenly go to school for this **** so im still learning and what not.
