I got a Honda Civic 93 Si With a D15B. Cell code 16... car takes a while to start, cranks then starts. once it manages to stay on, i'll start to drive, then gas pedal will loose power, gas pedal is all the way to the ground. pretty much floored. then the car jerks, goes and starts again to loose power. Drop it down one gear, then it will run again. Will run again for a couple of seconds... Again the pedal is all the way to the floor, like if i ran out of gas, then seems like it gets back gas goes then stalls.. need help.

okay i'll try that..... what about just replacing the relay...

Former User

Most people just recommend resoldering as buying a new main relay is more expensive.

okay thanks..

i just resolder the relay but still does the same thing. and still get CEL Code 16. i just bought a new relay off my work... but same problem..

Did this problem just occur out of the blue or is this a new build and you havent had it going at all yet. Maybe a bad fuel pump relay? Bad ecu ground? Its gonna be trial an error fix.

it just occur out of the blue.. drove fine before.... got on the freeway to go to work. felt the car running weird but made it to work. going back home took a **** on me. had to tow it home.. change distributor same problem. did a spark test it all passed..

Former User

With the key in ON(II), do the Yel/Blk wires in all 4 fuel injector clips have battery voltage?

I would install a fpr. Sounds like your fuel pump might have taken a **** on you. While they normally just go out its not unheard of for them to kinda putter along for day or 2. Try taking a rubber mallet and hitting the gas tank a couple times and see if it starts right up. If it does then its 99% your fuel pump.

Former User

Neither a bad fuel pump nor a bad FPR would throw code 16.

Dioxine

I meant fpg. But your right I forgot about the cel.

RonJ@HT okay i'll check them

roks94'HATCH

i got 10.4 ohms out of the injectors.... test all injectors power.. its all good their too. my next step is to check fuel pressure

roks94'HATCH

fuel pressure 44psi. found out thats it was my spark plugs....

Former User

Measure voltage at each injector clip.

took back the distributor that i just bought from my shop. got it warrantied out and bought spark plugs. Put them on boom car starts with no problems runs even smoother... re soldering relay helps a lot....
