well it sometimes starts and then other times it dosent. i have a 91 crx si with bard b16a running obd1 bla bla bla. well now it dosent start at first i put the key in and turn it and i see all the lights on the dash come on and then the seat belt light goes off and then some times the check eng light does not go off, when it does click off w/the seat belt light it will start.

i tryed a different ecu and it had the same problem
i also to check the codes and nothing pop's up it stays on solid

 

start by replacing the main relay with another one you know is good. also when the engine light is on check the code its throwin

 

i got a b16a in my 89hf and had the same kinda problem. mine was the main realy and i had a fuse blown under the hood. check them out and see if that workes. fixed mine

 

have to agree. sounds like the main relay

 

ignition switch?

 

also do you hear the fuel pump prime itself?

 

ok i will do both of these tomorrow where is the main relay at exactly? i have a friends crx thats a 91 si also so i can swap parts,

 

ok i dont hear the fuel pump and i switched the mainrelays and nothiong and there are no codes

 

does it turn over?

 

If you don't hear the fuel pump prime for about 3 sec when you turn the key to "ON" - not start - then it's usually the main relay.
You swapped yours out so hopefully the one you replaced it with is good.

Check your fuses like jayshf suggested.

After that it looks like you be on to troubleshooting your fuel pump.

 

Check for 12 volts going into the main relay i think its a black wire with a yellow stripe.

 

ok so i tryed a few things, i switched it with a known good main relay and nothing, i also swapped out the dizzy and nothing, i also changed out the E.L.D. and nothing so i dont know what to do next, iam going to go look at the wiring and make sure i dont see anything out of place, but iam stuck any ideas? i have a 91 si crx at my house that runs so i can swap out parts on it.. thaks again

 

bump....iam waiting to fix this problem so i can swap in a new motor..

 

bump...i still cant figure it out please help

 

ttt .....my check engine light does not go off and my car will not start.. please help

 

did you buy the car reffed? and with the motor already in it? because you said your running obd1 but from the looks of your plug on the distributor it looks like its obd0. obd1 distributors tend to have square gray plugs, unless you or the previous owner repined the obd1 distributor with obd0 plugs. just my .02



and showing us pics of the interior doesn't help either

 

thanks for the help iam the one who got it reffed and iam the one who converted it to obd1 and i just repined the dizzy that way, but iam thinking it might be some wiring issue with the obd1 conversion harness or something....i will post up some more pic's later..

 

please help with the check engine light...it wont go off

 

have you correctly jumped the jumper wire to make it so your CEL will flash?

 

if your car was already obd1 to the jdm spec converted then it will be wrong you will have to uncovert it from the b16 wiring threw the stock harness and then add ya jumper harness i had to do the same thing and u also need to watch the colors on ya distributor they dont match up by colors i did the same thing

 

it was obd0 then i converted it to obd-1 myself and it has been running this way for a couple years now, all of a sudden this started happening to me.

 

yes i gorounded it out and it has no codes stored it just stays on solid and the car cranks but will not start, the check engine light stays on the whole time its cranking also.

 

please help...another honda not starting
