well.. heres the deal.
friend got a hack jobbed crx with a b16a in it. car ran fine.
turbo build we took it out for the rebuild. built it. put it back in.
went to start car.
heres what we get.
car will crank. over and over. no spark. the fuel pump does not prime. the cel stays on and doesnt turn off when u flip the key to the on position. his VAFC does not come on either. i hear a buzzing coming from his dash. 2 differnet styles.
i think in my head. relays. so i tell him to replace them and see if it works. he says he cant find them. as i dont know crxs very well. and cant get over there for a while. does anyone have any light to shed on this?
if no spark or prime. im correct in thinkin relayS? all the fuses are fine.
where exactly are these located..

 

pm'd

 

Check the main relay

 

thanks ef9...
wow. sohc
ur a quick one. hence my question as to where the hell it is.

 

no prob, no with it still connected, try to start and see if you can hear the relay click yo

 

Seeing how you didn't mess with the wiring and only pulled stuff from under the hood, my guess is that you have something disconnected or miswired under the hood.

My guess is a ground wire.

 

ive done a few swaps. all the ground wires i no of are grounded.
tranny valve cover. battery. everything is hooked up. i guess we will try swapping the relay

 

I'm in the exact situation. I resoldered the main relay, still no go.

 

one time i had the same problem ,but then i checked that one switch on the clutch pedal and it was cut soldered and my car started. try to check that

 

FUSE #14 Alternator/Solenoid Fixed mine, maybe check it out

 

all fuses check out.. replaced that relay. still no go.. my friend was thinking autozone may have given him the wrong relay(wouldnt be the first time). but. were not sure.

 

you didnt list one of the most commonly overlooked grounds... take a look at the thermostat housing and see if the harness is grounded there.

 

It may not be gorunds, but it really sounds like it is. It won't take long to wire up some alternate grounds just to prove it out. I would hook some jumper cables to the battery ground and clamp to the motor and chassis just to make sure.
