i got a crx hf
i got a new clutch put in and now the car will not fire
the ECU is not getting power or is bad
no spark
cant hear the fuel pump prime
when i try to start it just keeps turning over
I checked all fuses ,in the motor compartment and inside under dash
and I replaced the main relay and I cant hear the relay click
the ECU is not even giving me the 1 flash hello sign.
could the main relay I bought be bad or the ecu be bad.
the check engine light does not come on
I also check the ground on the trans ,i thought maybe they didn't put it back,but it was ok
THANKS
any tips would be great

 

what about the other grounds? Thermostat and the valve cover

 

That sound like u didnt conect the ground wires on the back of the motor...it usally bollted wit a 10mm bolt

No such thing there chief. Check the thermostat ground. It's a 10mm bolt on the thermostat housing with a bunch of wire endings on it. (I think this is what he may be referring to....)

 

the ground for the thermostat ,does it come of the thermostat and go into the wire harness

If a shop put in a clutch and now it doens't run thats their problem! If you brought it in running and now it wont THEY DID SOMETHING! Return the car or do not give payment till it is running like when it was brought in.

 

yea
i know ,but these guys are ford guys ,they don't know **** about Honda
so they couldn't fix it
and i could not work on it because they had the keys
and I needed the car back as so as i could ,its hard to find a ride to work.I took the car to them because I thought it would be done soon,or else i would have done it myself ,boy WAS I WRONG

I looked at that ground ,it is hook up but it is late and i will take it off and clean it tomorrow

What is the relay bolted to the kick panels where the clutch pedal is.what does it do

There u goo...

 

ok so i checked the power to the ecu,got 12v
the blue/white wire that goes from the main relay to ecu ,when i turn the key it does not send 12v for the ecu to cut on
so i am not getting power to the main relay ,does anyone have a link to the pinouts for the main relay
thanks for the help guys

 

also I noticed that the ignition key/switch was replaced ,could that have anything to do with the main relay not working ,maybe crappy wiring.
later

 

tow it to a honda shop and send the bill for the tow and the repair to the dealer who messed up the car. You should not touch it so they can not say it was something you did. It is their responsibility to give it back in the condition it was received in.

 

This sounds like my newly acquired Honda. It gets delivered to me tomorrow. My $350.00 Gem. He was driving to work and it just .... died ... The Ignition Coil is fine, timing belt is fine. I am thinking fuel pump or distributor. But being that this thing has 281,000, I am pretty sure that the rear fuel filter is probably pretty clogged up. So I guess I will start with the least expensive and work backwards. I'm used to working on 50's and 60's American cars and they are extremely simple to troubleshot. But I suppose the same principal applies. But it should be fun, no? I guess I will listen for the fuel pump and all that. It turns over, but never catches. So it is either starved for fuel or fire.

Good luck. Maybe your fix is my fix.

 

does anybody have the pin outs for the main relay

 

i got it started
it was the black/sliver spotted ground wire on the main relay.made a new ground and fired right up.
i drove it for a few minutes and when it got back i was leaking coolant form a hose on the raditor dam.with my car i have to fix 10 things to fix one
thanks for the help guys
