Bought a Blue/Green 1990 Auto CRX last week, started up fine from the lot.

I changed:
Spark Plugs
Spark Plug Wires
Distrub Cap and Rotor
Air Filiter
Oil Change

I listened for the Main Relay click and for the fuel pump prime and i hear both of them. What else should i look into? The car starts fine sometimes and sometimes not lol. Just looking for other small things to check. thank you.

edit: when it doesnt start it just turns over and over and never ignites.

 

check to see if you have spark and timing, all your fuses and lastly my suggestion would be possible ignition switch.

 

if possible can u go a little more in depth?

how to i check my spark? should new plugs be good enough?

and for timing i dont really have the tools lol, should i bring it in and get it timed?

I had a bad ignition switch two crxs lol. i know how to change that but im not sure how to tell if its bad or not

 

well you can pull the plug wire out stick a screw driver on there touch it to ground somewhere on the body and get someone to crank to see if you got spark, could be ignitor gone bad. check all four.

if thats good, you can either pop off the valve cover or oil cap and get someone to crank while to see to make sure you cam is moving, your timing belt may have snapped.

if thats good, do a search on how to check your timing, id suggest you get the tools so you can do it yourself now and in the future vs paying a shop to check it.

there are some checks for the ignition switch, but let us know how you fare on the other stuff, and dont forget check all your fuses and im assuming you have checked for codes.

 

tyvm. giving me something to keep my sunday busy i c haha

 

good luck post back your results...did you change all those things before or after it stopped starting?

 

well we only drove it twice before i changed everything. but no we didnt have a problem before hand to answer ur question.

 

check your firing order....
