when i drive my car somewere and shut it off. i have to let it cool down before i it will start up again, if not it just turns and turns. this sucks cause it sereausly limits me as to were i can go. i'm tired of going places i can see my car from while paying cause i left it on...someone please help me.

 

This happened to my old CRX and a friend of mine's EF Civic. The main relay was the culprit. Just replace it and you'll be fine.

i did so recently, that didn't do anything? any more suggestions guys.

 

Check the coil.

 

Is the CEL ON?

When the engine won't start:

1) Listen for whether the fuel pump primes for two seconds when the key is turned to ON(II).

2) Check for spark at the plugs.

 

yeah everything checks out...no cel. good stong prime, coil i've tried others. i was guessing injectors but i replaced them and still. please guys keep it coming.

 

did u replace it with a new one or used one

 

Did you actually check for spark at the plugs when the engine wouldn't start?

 

This used to happen to my old Civic, and I don't know why this worked, but I changed the fuel filter and the problem went away.

 

Coolant Temp Sensor, Main Relay, Or Fuel Pump.

 

No offense or anything, but these are different symptoms than the last thread you posted in, yet you said the same thing is the problem.


EDIT: this was before your ninja edit. lol

 

i still cant fugure this out.

 

 

Did you try the fuel filter?

It's worth replacing, and when I did, my same exact problem went away. I don't know how it worked, but it did.

It's only $14 or so and your gas mileage may improve depending on how bad the old one is.

 

will do so sir. thanks.

 

just wanted to update u guys. i changed the filter. and OMG it worked. thanks.
