i am new to this. i have a 91 civic hatch wit a 1.5 the car runs fine for the most part but if i use it the whole day it wont want to start up at night. ive change the main relay, ignition switch, put new sparkplugs and wires , new distributor cap and rotor. what could it b. please help

 

ok... first things first... do you have gauge lights? If no check the battery. If you do great. second... when you try to start it do you hear a clicking sound coming from the engine bay? in short... check the starter... if you can bang it a couple times with a hammer and it starts... replace it!!! and check the voltage on your battery anyway it can cause an issue if you don't do regular maintenance to the wet types.

 

check igniter, honda igniters r notorious for not wanting to work when hot. Pull a wire, put an old plug in it, put it next to a ground n see if ur gettin spark

 

Read your stuff all the way. Cause your only 1/4 right. B series OBD0 igniter's are known for shorting out. Not D-series.

On to your problem. Does it crank at night? what else does it do? More info is needed.

 

once it stops workin the starter will spin but not start. the starter is brand new and ive checked it and is still good. plugs r brand new also. where r all the ground wires located? its probably a stupid question but im new to this.

TO the op. Check your igniter and coil. My car would always leave me in the Blockbuster parking lot. LOL. They go bad when they get hot.

 

took off the distributer cap and removed coil . i noticed the there were craks in the plastic. i replaced it and it started up just fine

just a quick up date ive been driving the car around town for a few hours and it is still running hopefully the problem has been solved. thks

 

Read my stuff? Thats odd, cuz we replace d & b series igniters at the shop alot, we don't just "read" about replacing them.
