I am so sick of my stupid Civic. Its one problem after another and I though Honda’s are reliable :headbang :angry2 :ninja
So here’s what happened over the last couple of days:
Day 1) I get out in the morning to go to work. Get into my car, crank the car (it starts then dies in 2 sec). After that it would only crank but wouldn’t start.
Same day after work I got Haynes manual out and figured out that my fuel pump isn’t getting any juice. After some more trouble shooting I found a maybe broken relay (as I found out its a usual thing for 92-97 Civic and 94-96 tegs).
Day 2) Found a website that showed how to fix the relay by re soldering the tips and putting new solder on. The car worked fine for a day
Day 3) Same thing all over, no juice to fuel pump so I tried fixing the relay but it didn’t help so I guessed that the relay is busted.
Day 4 TODAY) Went to Keeler honda got a new relay $64+tax got a ride to work (thats where the car died). Put the new relay, the car started up and everything was working fine drove it around (got some fuel).
Day 4 TODAY night) Got out of work go to my car put the key in, dont hear the fuel pump turn on, car doesn’t start. So I stayed in the parking lot had my friend and my Dad come help and bring tools, manual. Worked on the car 8pm-11pm to no avail.
Here’s what we did as of 11PM today:
Checked all the Fuses (cabin, engine)
Checked the Voltage at the relay, it gives me 1.5V but it should be around 12V
Hot wired the fuel pump which works
Tried starting the car with hot wired fuel pump and relay in (car wouldn’t start)
Now I am really pissed and don’t know what to do.
I’ll be working 8-12pm, where I’ll bench test the relay to see if it functions properly. Then I’ll have AAA tow it home, if anybody knows honda electrical you are welcome to stop by. I live at Tall Oaks (same as Vlad) and I"ll be in the parking lot from 12:30 (or whenever AAA brings me there) til I figure whats going on with the damn car.
STUPID HONDA :headbang :headbang :headbang :headbang :headbang
