Well I found a 88 CRX DX with no rust for about 1200 (will offer lower) that has a hard start problem. Causes for a "hard start" generally could be battery (which would lead to alternator and so on), starter, or loose connections.

He says, "If you let it rest for 20-30 minutes it will start again." This directly led me (as will many of you) to believe it is a faultly MFR . However, he later said that he would need to be push started from time to time.-but then this contradicts the faulty MFR-

My question is would push starting a CRX with a faulty MFR enable the car to start?

Or would the car need a new starter+solenoid?


Since the car is 2 hours away and I seem to be the only one interested at the momment I cannot visually inspect the vehicle. These two statements that he's said are throwing me for a loop.

So which one do you believe it is. One or the other or both?

 

Sounds like a main relay to me.

I'd also say, if it's rust free, go for it...that's the most important thing, mechanical is easy to fix, body work on the other hand.....you know

 

Definitely agree with you on that one. Also being stock thats even harder to find these days. I'm about 70/30 on getting this. Just have get some more details about the car. Thanks for the input appreciate it.
