i was leaving work today..and i had arrived at my buddies house...i sat in my car(off) for ten minutes and when he arrived i had to move my car...i went to start it and nothing...no fuel pump purge nothing...now i just fixed this problem...main relay and ecu fues...car was working all day yesterday..all a sudden i saw smoke come from under neith the dash..i quickly jumped out and looked under..the harness that plugs into the main relay was on fire..the wire for terminal 5 or 7 in the relay was totally gone...what could of caused this..was it old wires..and i jut have bad luck..or was there to much power through the harness..(95 hatch,b16a..walbro pump)

Project_DX

did you replace the two fuses with ones that had two high of amp's

Project_DX

cause if they blew in the first place then something was wrong, bad ground, wires old and exposed, and you just poped some new fuses in there that were to high, you deff could have fryd that ****

Look for any + wires just hanging. I almost set my car on fire too by grounding a 12v source. It looked like people have been smoking in there for hours. Full of white smoke. I managed to pull the glowing red wire with my bare hands and burn myself. But at least I didn't get the car on fire

vtecpoweredsol

its cursed... a lot of honda's are

matthevelli

yeah thats what i did...burned my hand instead of my car...no i replaced the ecu fuse with a 15amp likes it was....i just think it was old wires maybe shorted...i;ll fix it..i need to trace back the damaged wire and replace it..do you think i should just get a new wire harness...or should i just cut and splice?

FOR THE LAST TIME NOS DOES NOT BLOW UP(with out gas mixture)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please dont believe everything in fast and the fakious (theres my 2 cent)

check your wires because i believe my friend short circuit his speakers because one of the wires didnt have resistance and we checked it out and the wire had a bare spot with lil dark spots which i believe maybe gave a spark and thank GOD and didnt catch anything on fire

need one

94hatchling

hit up the local salvage yard. i can tell you one thing.... going to honda for a wiring harness is going to cost an arm and a leg.

or if you feel up to the challenge, just rewire it with a wiring diagram, and be sure to check for the correct resistance, etc etc.

good luck.

aight i looked over my cars..and i just decided to go and spend the money on the new wire harness....theres alot of fire damage...so im going to go this way instead of cut/splicing...i went to majestichonda.com and they have a wire harness for over 600bucks...i need to know if the cabin harness is what i def. need...i called and they said too look on the site..but those pictures arnt the best...the harness that goes into the main relay is BBQ.. and so is the plug that goes into the relay...now if i ordered the cabin relay am i going to get what i need?..

Genius, I'll back you up fully on that if some of these people knew anything about chemistry then the world would be a lot better place. Just so everyone knows it's pretty much impossible to blow up a car without a bomb or some well placed accelerants( i.e gasoline outside the tank)

check and see if the main relay is actually causing the problem. switch it with another one. it always turns out to be something so stupid and simple

matthevelli

i have three main relays...they all do the same things..the one wire gets to hot

matthevelli

the pump does not prime and the wire starts to heat up..key on engine off..i just replaced the whole cabin wire harness it was a bitch...it didnt fix the problem..im guess its cause theres to much voltage going through that wire
