Replace the distributor

Former User

Check dash fuse 9

Jason Combs

I checked the fuse its good.... Would replacing the distributor fix it not getting power...the connector isnt getting power this mechanic tested the red wire he said it was the hot wire
Can i post pics of it on here?

Former User

He tested the wrong wire. The Blk/Yel wire should have battery voltage.

Jason Combs

The one under the yellow and green one? I have had to changed the coil before is this because i have 4 6x9s hooked up without an amp?

Jason Combs

checked it with the ignition on and no light came on the tester

Former User

Voltage test fuse 9 - click the Fuses link in my signature.

Jason Combs

I did already the fuse isnt blown , when i keep trying to staqrt it i lose power quick and my car dies after the 4 time

Former User

Did you voltage test fuse 9 exactly as described in my Fuses link? If so, what were the results?

Jason Combs

all i have is this tester that has a clip idk where to put the clip....he clipped it onto the battery to test the wires

Former User

Did you read my thread? Instructions can be found there.

Jason Combs

I just checked it its good it lit up.....i checked the spring on my coil pack and it didnt light up

Jason Combs

and the battery is almost completely dead after doing that

Former User

You tested both fuse tabs?

Former User

After doing what?

Jason Combs

yes i tested all my fuses to just to make sure. After testing the fuse i tried to start it again and it sounded like it was dieing when i tried to turn it over

Jason Combs

Thank you for helping all the mechanics here dont work on civics

Jason Combs

could it be my main relay

You should be able to hear your main relay give an audible click right before you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the key. You don't have to have the starter engage for this to happen, just turn to accessory. The main relay is by the glove box if memory serves. If it doesn't give an audible click that is a bad sign.

Jason Combs

I hear a click when i turn the key then like 2 seconds later another click. My fuse is good , Im not getting any power to my connector that connectx my distributor and coil.

Former User

If both tabs of fuse 9 have battery voltage and the Blk/Yel wire in the distributor lacks voltage, then the Blk/Yel wire or Red wire is broken between those two points or the wire terminals lack contact in connectors (C120, C101, C419) between those two points.

Jason Combs

What do i need to check for? i dont understand any of that its my first time with this. Could my main relay be bad?

Former User

No, a bad main relay would not prevent voltage from reaching the distributor.

I rarely say this, but you may need to hire a mechanic as I don't think you can follow simple instructions. For example, based on your responses, I'm still unsure whether you tested fuse 9 as I suggested.

Jason Combs

i did i hooked the clip up to the metal under the dash like it said and then tested both points on the fuse and it lit up on both......my mechanic keeps telling me its the main relay...no one else here works on civics. I can provide a picture showing i tested the fuse. The first time i didnt read your link then i did and understood what to do.
