civic 1.6 lsi turns over but wont start please help!!
hey,
my civic has a " once in a blue moon " starting problem,
it doesnt matter what the weather is like,
it turns over fine but doesnt start,
the ecu light comes on=had it replaced it still does it,
its got;
new plugs
new leads
new dizzy
new fuel filter
new fuel injectors
the fuel relay has been bypassed so that cancels that out
took it to honda thay said the ecu codes were coming up as the
injector failing, got a new one,
then took it back
they said it was the ecu, had it changed.. now they dont want to know,
it tends not to start when i need it the most,
specially in a petrol station! when everyones waiting!
ive had so many mechanics look at it and theyve told me to sell it, i
dont want to cause ive got it how i like it ( boyed up )
honda say its got to be something to do with the wiring loom whitch is
going to cost £60 an hour for 2 days work.... TO GET IT OUT!,
then a further 2 days to put it back in, i dont know whether they are
taking the **** or not?
it would be nice to speak to someone who isnt going to fob me off for
once and who honestly wants to help my sorry ***!
let me know
cheers
:P kitty

why was the relay bypassed?
Problems with the main relay solder joints are a common cause of "cranks
but won't keep running".(due to no fuel pressure at the rail)
How is the fuel pressure at the fuel rail?

What model year is it? Mileage?
Ignition switch? (maybe worn out)
Check the engine grounds.unscrew each one,scrape to bare metal for good
contact,tighten. Inspect the ground wires for corrosion.

"injectors" sounds like classic main relay [and highly

"injectors" sounds like classic main relay [and highly
incompetent/expensive misrepair], but please confirm the other
information requested to help diagnosis.

===================================
If it _only_ happens after the (unknown) Civic has sat overnight or over
the weekend, it's probably simple flooding. The owner's manual tells you
how to get it to start. The cure is to run injector cleaner (one is
dribbling overnight) through the engine three or four times a year. My
Odyssey did it too. I never thought to read the manual and spent a bunch
of unnecesary money on it.

Can't do that in an EFI vehicle. you're misunderstanding whatever they

A new "one"? How many injectors tdoes this car have? You'd better give
the year and model here.

That wasn't bright at all. Pretty stupid, in fact.

Sounds like that "fuel relay" that they allegedly bypassed. The solder's
cracked. You'll get the no-start plus the injector error if the solder
cracks just the right way.
