i got the car for 260$. car has new axels, clutch, and a starter. thing is it doesnt start, i think the fuel pump is out. anywas do any of you guys have honda fourms? no rust im suprised and i think i ricer owned it before, cuz ish low as piss.

hondatech.com or something like that.

PM IndiEP, He knows a bit about honda's and where you can go.

Hey I know a whole shit load about honda's and if you want give me a call or pm me about it and ill come out and look at it. I would also like to maybe purchase this new aquisition from you. I drive a crx right now but i love hatchbacks and ill buy it for more then what you bought it for. Interested PM me

Another old Honda guy here.

Probably the main relay under the dash. Or possibly a loose connection somewhere. Could also be a faulty igniter on the distributor. Need a little more info on what it actually does when you turn the key (ie. what sounds does it make or not make).

If it cranks but doesn't start, check the distributor cap. They tend to get a build up underneath them. Clean it out or get a new cap, rotor, wires, plugs, fuel filter and air filter. That way you have the full tune up done. And maybe do an oil change at the same time. That way everything is fresh and new and you can begin the maintenance schedule knowing what has been done and when.

Congrats. You now have a car that you know (once you get it running) will run when you DSM breaks. It's always good to have a backup.
If you need help working on it, let me know. I have lots of spare parts laying around including an entire 89 DX engine (that still runs, a bi-product of an engine swap) to pluck small parts from.

Put the ignition in acc position and listen for the fuel pump prime, if you don't hear a whine from the rear seat for a brief second, somethings up. I agree w/the main relay too. You can either re-solder everything and you'll be set or get a new one from honda, parts stores do not sell this part, they all carry "relays" but not the right one.

its the main relay. i tested it and all that and nothing on the reader thing. i went to go pick up a new one today.
i dont think im sellin it :P. i think i need a new intake pipe cuz some one chopped it and put a filter on it.

"I agree w/the main relay too. You can either re-solder everything and you'll be set or get a new one from honda, parts stores do not sell this part, they all carry "relays" but not the right one. "

oooooo so i bought the wrong one?

ohh come on sell it im looking for another hatchback plz

If you are looking for a spare engine (for parts or whatever) I have one that I want to get rid of. It's out of an 89 CRX DX (same engine that you have there). It ran when we pulled it out of the car that it was in. It has some oil leaks. We swapped in a ZC engine (DOHC without V-TEC).

I'll look, I may have the intake hose. I'll let you know if I can find it or not.

PM IndiEP if you want to buy a hatch. he might still be sellin his

i'd appreciate it.

i got stock struts (is that what there called?) or springs and shocks for all for corners and i installed all of them. so ill have pics tomorrow cuz im lazy right now. now i can drive it in snow :bounce: . just need that main relay now and get it running.

Did the one you buy look like the one you tested? Also, I sold my blue civic.

You should sell him your white one. You really need to get rid of all those spare cars you have laying around, but keep the laser of course!!!

yeah i brought it with and they said that your buying one that looks just like that, so i was like ok.

man those things sell fast

let me buy the car

you wanna buy the shocks and springs i just took off? they are real low, good for a low center of gravity

So where did you buy the main relay? You removed it from right above the hood release lever right? I'm just curious, I went to three different places and no one had it.

autozone in brooklyn park. they said they didnt have it in but they ordered it. yeah i went to like 4 different stores. yeah i took it off and it looked like this..................not all disconnected though.

Well that'd be it, hope it starts for ya! :goodluck:
