Hi, I bought my 91 CRX Si from some guy who installed a push button ignition relay. Its very anoying and its been giving me trouble. I removed all the wires and the relay from the car. Everything seems to be in order..I taped the wires he cut back to orginial positions but the car wont start. I get all the lights but doesnt start. It only works with that relay. Please let me know how I can take this off and get my car going again.

this is a picture of that kit he put it.

 

start by double checking the wiring look for anything that was cut by the previous owner and then check your connections grounds ect then check them again oh and that is really ugly.

 

I did just that. He cut three wires. One is white with a black stripe that leads directly to the ignition. The other is a sort of gray. And the other is a blue/black with white stripe. He just cut a little section of it to twist on those red white and yellow wires from that kit.....and yea I know its ugly thats why I want to get rid of it...

Is there an ignition diagram anywhere??

 

not sure about here but you can get complete wiring diagrams from the dealership i would think that you could find them if you search

 

Ive been googleing for a whole day.. cant really find much but ill see what I can do at the dealer.. god i hate ricer parts like these..makes life impossible.

 

agreed you know i don't see nearly enough rat civics on this website where are those cars that look like a pile of **** but are reliable rockets? or even stockish cars what the hell happened to them

 

I guess they jumped on the JDM "clean" bandwagon. But when I bought my CRX it had blue, yellow, and many other colored parts on it. It had som ricer seats and a whole deal of APC things. But that single cam put down a 15.6@85mph on a full tank of gas.. not bad for when it was in ricer mode.

 

cool post some pics i am really bored it is almost midnight here and i have nothing to do

 

This is the only pic I have of it so far after removing body kit and getting stock bumpers all around and a cheap paint job..its an on going project so pics will be up after new paint...those are stock si's painted flat black

but getting back on topic ...anybody have any other sugestions?? I hate pressing that button every morning.

 

Maybe he put the button in for a reason, like the ign switch went out?

doubtful ignitition switches are one of the last things to go on these cars honda stock wiring is very reliable sorry searched for about an hour and only found stuff you would have to pay for and some straight up bullshit any luck at the dealer?

Edit: here this might help the ignt seems to be on the bottom right hand side of their diagrams http://www.autozone.com/az/cds...s.htm

 

Hey thanks for taking the time to search. I went to the dealer and those a**holes told me "thats what you get when you modify your car" after I explained to them it wasnt me. Im thinking of taking the whole colum apart to see if there are any other wires that he might of cut into. As for the ignition switch being out...its not.. I dont remember exactly what I didnt but i pulled some wires and took off the bottom and the car started.. too bad I dont remember how I did that.

 

sucks to hear about the dealer they sound like a bunch of ******. but hey it isn't every day that you get to hotwire your own car. good luck i am sure you will get it figured out eventually

 

If the wires are just twisted together, they might not have a good enough connection. Try soldering them. Since they're thick, you'll need at least a 140 watt soldering gun with some thinner solder. Leaded solder works a LOT better than unleaded.

I have seen a bad ignition switch in a civic once. It was one with other electrical problems already. The switches come with the wiring harness all the way down to the side of the steering column/fusebox. I have a working used one, if you want one. You can also fix it with this guide I made years ago:

Good info.. the problem is that I dont want to use that unit any more. i want my regular turn key ignition.. but it wont start when i take the kit off.

 

Do you have any good friends with 88-91 civics? Try borrowing that harness from them, and see if there's more or if that fixes it.

 

I wish...I just moved here from florida so i dont know anybody. I guess ill have to keep using that button thing until i can find someone with a harness.

 

I have a spare you could use/have cheap, but shipping would probably make it not worth it.
