Asking for a buddy of mine. He has a 93 Civic cx hatchback. Mostly stock except for a drop and a POS muffler.... Any ideas?

Could you explain that a little bit more for me? Like where that would be located? And what exactly to check for?

I was thinking the same thing, especially because it's temp. related.

Its right by the inside fuse box. It should be a gray box with a brown plug with about 8 or so wires. Its held in with a 10mm bolt. Take it out, remove the cover, and look for "burned" spots. You can either resolder them, or get a new one. I replaced mine and it starts every time.
