My 92 honda civic wont start......?'s!!!?

Question

i've changed the fuel pump, battery, ignition module, rotor. ignition coil.

car cranks over but wont start. Someone else told me to check timing, main relay. But I'mm tired of guessing. I just need my car to run. Thanks

Answer 1

check Alternator? Injectors?

your actually getting the "ignition" sound? but it wont idle? If that's the case, check fuel pressure (lines)  

Answer 2

A car needs THREE things to run: AIR, FUEL, and SPARK!

Check for spark: take a spark plug out, lay the metal part of the plug on a metal part of your car or engine, have some one crank the engine. Do you see spark? If so, that's not the problem, if you don't, then for whatever reason your not getting spark. You already changed the key items, primarily the coil and ignition module..... you havent checked the cap or wires?? check those

If it's getting spark, it's not getting FUEL. You changed your fuel pump... have you verified its working??? Turn the key on (don't crank it!) and listen for the fuel pump, you should hear a "whine" from the back of the car for about 5 seconds. If you don't, check the fuel pump relay and fuse, located in the fuse box under the hood, and while your in there check all of the fuses in that box. Get a TEST LIGHT, like this http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?... or "slightly" cheaper from Sears: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605...   probe the fuses through the the little openings on top of them, PROBE BOTH SIDES of the fuse! Because one side has voltage doesn't mean the fuse is good!

Answer 3

Alternator maybe?

Answer 4

buy new one...your money is worth buying a  new one rather that fixing a waste..

Answer 5

I know this may sound funny but I'm serious...Does it have a reset button?

Answer 6

I dont know what to tell you but I'll buy it if you want to sell it, I need a new project to tinker with on days off. I live i in joplin missouri if your interested  contact me.

Answer 7

It won't start because Honda is suckish.

Answer 8

Check in this order:

1. battery (should be charged and in good condition -take it to be checked to an auto store).

2. alternator (should be working -sometimes it cranks but is no good).

3. module ignition (when did you changed it, they fail not often, but if they do.And with this check the gas pressure in the lines. How?..turn the key on the On position (don't crank it), and try to hear the "whizz" sound immediately after you turned it on. The same module ignition controls the gas flow to the engine!..

Answer 9

You are throwing parts at it,not finding why it does not start,from no spark or lack of fuel.Check to see if the PGM-FI light comes on with ignition on firsrt.Then crank and check for spark,then fuel.Then compression.It is a process of elimination in order to fix the car with some knowledge,experience and an intelligent guess.HTH and good luck.

Answer 10

I know the autozone near us does a free check of the computer.  If the check engine light is on you could try getting it to one of them...

Answer 11

My 98 Civc got water in the gas tank (apparently it was just a little bit but it really caused problems) and wouldn't start because of it.  Try putting some gas line cleaner in - that's what my cousin did to fix mine.  Check the spark plugs too - they go up easily.
