well my car wouldnt start today at lunch for awhile well it finaly started,it has done this a few times now. well when i went out after work it wouldnt start at all, i havent really had a chance to check anything yet, it has a pretty new cap and rotor new wires new plugs and fuel filter.

all it will do is crank. you can hear the main relay clicking.

any ideas please.

thanks guys
me

 

With the key in the on position, the CEL is suposed to come on then off. does it do that?

 

yeha i belive it does. the car is at my work which is 20 mins from my house and i have no ride

 

please guys help me, i have to get this thing running

 

Find the main relay and have someone smack it with the butt end of a screwdriver while you are cranking it. If it's the main relay, it should start.

 

Could be a coil or igniter problem. Your gonna have to diagnose. Fuel,spark,compression(which should be fine if its been runnig ok otherwise)

could possibly be your alternator? but im not for sure

 

definately sounds like either a coil or igniter problem since the relay is clicking...

 

alrightyguys, i have spark on it and it still wont start, um i took the little bleeder thing off the other side of my fuel filter and no fuel. wht do u guys say i am thinkin pump or main relay

 

When you turn the key to the on position do you hear the fuel pump come on?If not then either your fuel pump is not getting power or it doesn't work. If it's not getting power then start checking relays,or connections.

 

that is what i was thinkin i dont think the pump is working at all. i am gona try and get a main relay and check that then go from there

 

nvm.. just go to http://www.distributorking.com and buy yourself a brand new dizzy. not worth it jus replacing parts. its probably ur coil or ignitor liek the dudes said.

just check if it's the starter the same thing happened to mine and i had to take it apart and rebuilt it so try doing that

 

hey guys, i already said that it will turn over and is gettin fire, no fuel. the main relay has to do with the pump

 

If you can hear the pump prime....get the main relay.

 

if the pump will rpime then it will not be the main relay,b/c if the pump primes then the relay is workin

 

it will only pump fuel if the key is being turned, so you need someone to check and see if they see fuel coming out when you crank it..

if it is turning over an no spark and has been hesitant to start that is your ignitor, I dont care if you pull the plugs and see spark using a screwdriver , hondas are screwy and you can still get spark if your distributor is jacked, happend to me 4 times..

if you hear a click that is your starter. you need to push start that bitch..
go get two bums tell them to push start your car and youll buy them a 40oz then after it is started , just buy one 40oz and tell them the winner of the fight gets it this way you will have some entertainment !!!!!!!!

sorry could not help it
good luck

 

it cant be the starter b/c thr thing turns right over we have established that. and if the pump is workin right then when u crack the bleeder screw fuel would have went out b/c the pump is suppose to keep fuel pressure all the time just alittle.

PLUS i have had someone turn it over while i had the bleeder screw out and no fuel at all.

You've narrowed it down to Main relay or Fuel Pump. Hope to Christ that it isn't the pump. You'll have to drop the tank to change it.

 

its the main relay bro its under your dash

 

yeah i am about to go put this relay that i have in and see what it does

 

ok guys,put my new main relay in and it starts right up so that was it. thanks for ur help guys
