HONDA 91 CIVIC DX HB - CAR RUNS FOR A WHILE THEN WILL NOT START BUT TURNS OVER. CHANGED DISTIB/FUEL
Hey Guys/Gals,
I hope one of you geniuses can help me. Recently my car has been stalling out after driving it for a while. AT first I tried changing the Fuel Pump and then Distributer but it just conks out and will not start. I go back to the car the next day and it starts again. It turns over fine but the engine doesnt take so its not the starter.
Could this be a computer problem? Wiring? Its really pissing me off as I was going to do this peice of crap off.
Let me know if you can help.
Thank you,
Ben

you spent money you didn't need to. it's the main fuel relay. those have a tendency to do that when they are getting ready to crap out in the hondas. it happened to me in my crx, prelude, and the civic i have now. just change the main fuel relay and you shouldn't have the problem any more. next time it does that, if you haven't replaced it yet, just unplug it and plug it back in and it should start right up. sometimes you just need to give it like 15-20 minutes to cool down before starting it up. there will probably be two choices for the car - nippondenso or mitsuba - you will need to check the main relay before you get the new one so you know which one you have.
