ok here is my problem:
i have a 91 honda civic hb dx
ran good until yesterday
i was driving came to a stoplight light turns green i pushed on the gas nothing happened it seemed my car bogged out but did not completely die then it kicked on but running like **** i looked down and there was smoke coming from my fuses or the electrical stuff down there i mean it looked as if someone was smoking a cigarette down there adn i got home adn it wouldnt start back up it would try to but seemed like it was gettign no gas then i tried again pumping the gas pedal it didnt work so could it be my fuel pump maybe some fuel pump fuse went out i dunno can someone throw me soem ideas on what to do adn look for thanks alot i know this is hella long

 

Check your pump fuse. It should be a 10 amp fuse. If the previous owner put lets say a 15 amp fuse then when the pump messed up it would cause the wires to melt and burn etc. So check that fuse and replace as nessary.If you dont got a fuel pump fuse then check the relay. Hope that helps

 

ok i let my car sit all last night and this morning i started it with no problem but when i turned it off it wouldnt start again so battery alternator problem?

 

Check what voltage you get out of your battery. Should be 12.7 ish and 14.7 ish when on. When it does the doesnt start thingy does it crank over or is it just silent?

 

it cranks over but wont all the way start if i try to start it then push the gas i can hear the engine rev for a second then it dies

 

Here is the proceedure for checking fuel pump. Get a buddy to turn your car on not Start just to on. While you have the gas cap off and are listening. There shoudl be a whirl as it presurizes the gas tank. Also check that all your injectors are in the holes maybe one poped out providing harsh vacum leeks or something.

 

ok i checked the fuel pump likeyo usadi i did hear the pressureizing and the injecotrs look fine the car wants to start what about the alternator fuse or the battery fuse

 

That is good that means it wont be a 400 dollar fuel pump hehe. Well there is a set of fuses in the fuse panel and under the hood on passengers side in a black U shaped case. Pop open that case and check all fuses including the main fuse. Also check all fuses in the incar fuse panel. Do you hear any clicking noise when you try starting the car coming from your fuse panel. You would be able to hear this clicking noise with the doors shut and radio off. If you do then its your fuel pump relay.

Just by pulling hose fuses and checking them might fix your problem even if you dont find a blown fuse cause it will reset your ECU which might help. Some of the fuses you have to undo two screws to get them out. Rememer just pull one fuse at a time so you dont mix them up.

 

thanks i will start that later
