Re: 91 civic lx
Have you ever had the main relay replaced or repaired on this car? Try the
steps listed at
http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/start...html#mainrelay
to help confirm whether it is the main relay or not.
Word is if you smack the lower dashboard near your left knee (about where
the relay is located), then this will allow an electrical connection to be
made, allowing the car to start.
It's bad solder joints in the main relay that cause it to faill

go to tegger.com, read the section on getting the ecu codes, then report
back once you've got them from your car.

Re: 91 civic lx
There are no codes on the ecu and it still is the same, spark
fuel,compression and timing all good

Probably needs a good mixture. Try starting fluid.

How do you know? What did you do to test for all three?

------------------------------
If it 'quit running' are you saying you were moving at the time and it
died? If it 'failed to start' that's a different story. If you ever find
it spins but doesn't start after sitting overnight / weekend, just read
the Owner's Manual and follow the procedure for 'flooded engine'. Hold
the pedal to the floor and crank it for up to 15 seconds at a time. It
will start with a puff of black smoke and will run poorly for several
seconds. Then run a can of Techron injector cleaner thru it OR a couple
tanks of Gasohol to clean up the sticking injector. It happened to my
Odyssey and I never had the sense to READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL.
