Stock 95 civic ex, Parked it for 2 weeks..went to start it and nothing..fuel pump is not priming and i'm not getting any fire.The fuel pump is good, Replaced the main relay and tried another computer...any ideas anyone??

also replaced coil and ingnition module in the dizz

I assume the starter is cranking the engine fine. Check the ground wire on the thermostat housing. It may be loose or corroded.

Also check whether fuses 31 (hood), 24 (dash), or 18 (dash) is blown.

which fuse is 31 under the hood..also fuses 24 and 18 are good but have no curent going to them when the key is on

Former User

Regarding no power to fuses 18 and 24, if 50A fuse 39 under the hood is fine, then the ignition switch may be bad.

I know it's obvious, but have you checked the battery? It may just need a jump.

turbo93daa

lol yeah the battery is the first thing i checked..i'm thinking the ignition switch may be bad..i thought i'd get on here and get some input..wanted to make sure i wasnt getting ahead of myself forgeting to check somthing obvious

Former User

Well, the solution is sometimes the obvious, especially considering that the OP did not mention whether the starter cranks the engine.

turbo93daa

yeah engine turnes over..sorry, also the battery light on my clusted does NOT come on when you turn the key on

Former User

Here's how to test the switch:

holy moly...the ignition switch is goooooooooooood!you think anything in my distributer could have somthing to do with it?

Former User

A bad distributor would not prevent the fuel pump from priming.

Check whether the Blk/Yel wire running from the IG1 terminal of the ignition switch to the under-dash fuse box has an open.

When you turn on your car, does your engine light stay on n dont turn off? cuz if so, then my solution was my main relay n ecu had to be replaced!

turbo93daa

i'v been tracing wires all morning and nothing has turned up burnt or broken yet...i was messin with the relay again and the only wire thats hot at the relay is the yellow and white wire..i can jump that to the yellow and black wire at the relay and make the pump prime..and my battery light comes back on like its supposed to when i do that

chris42192

When you put your key in ON is the engine light on and never turns off?

turbo93daa

yeah it just stayes on...but my batt. light doesnt come on at all

jiggacivic

check the ground strap on the coolant pipe/fan switch pipe.

chris42192

k when my engine light never turned off, my solution was replacing all my fuel pumps and my battery and ecu and main relay...ALL BRAND NEW!

turbo93daa

all that stuff is good...for some reason i'm not getting power to my relay..well i'm getting power to the yellow and white wire only..nothing else, i'v tried another computer,relay, and batt.
