95 Civic EX - CEL takes 5 second to 10 minutes to go out
Hi,
Have a 95 Honda civic EX. Check engine light comes on and stays on when I try to start it. Cranks but does not start. It may take 5 second to 10 minutes for the check engine light to go out. Then I hear the fuel pump turn on and the car starts up. It is worse when it is damp outside. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Re: Check engine light
Does the CEL flash when you put the key into ACC before you crank it?

Re: Check engine light
The cel does not flash when key in acc. The code comes up as main relay but I have replaced it with new one. no change. I will try your suggestions. BTW, how much does an ecu cost?

Re: Check engine light
This is a growing problem for 5th generation Civics. Those ECUs are showing their age. You can verify a bad ECU by doing an A7/A8 ground test and a K-Test.

I notice that the negative side of the battery is connected to the passenger shock tower. Is this normal? If i decide to move it where would the best place to connect it? The engine? Or some other place?
Thanks
Thanks
