Buddy picked up another fuel pump from an '89 Civic but it proved to not fit the
tank - the assembly projects straight down from the mounting plate, rather than
on an angle like the one that came out, and hits the bottom of the tank. Back to
the wrecker...

Re: '88 Civic starting problem (SOLVED maybe)
Okay, quick update... new fuel pump in, took care of the voltage drop
problem... now we're getting an ALMOST-start. It cranks, it tries to
catch, it won't quite take off.
ECU gives a code 16 ("Fuel Injector System: defective circuit or
unplugged / defective fuel injector".)
Both injectors appear to work when independently powered. Both
injectors seem to click while cranking. Looking down the TB throat,
there's definitely gas being fed in from the main injector - hard to
tell if the aux injector is doing anything. Holding the choke open
manually helps a bit, but it still won't quite "catch".
Lots of spark on all cylinders... firing order is correct as far as
I've been able to determine without having found the EXACT manual for
this specific car (1-3-4-2 clockwise from the bottom-left when looking
straight at the top of the distributor cap). Getting regular "puffs"
from the exhaust so there seems to be steady compression from all
cylinders.
Odd thing is, the plugs appear dry when I pull them out, so they're
either firing or not getting any air/fuel mix, which doesn't make any
sense unless the intake valves aren't working... and if that was the
case I'd think I wouldn't get the "puffs" out the exhaust, if it wasn't
drawing in any air.
So near, yet so far away... *sigh*
