*Need Help* 94 Civic starting problem
Ok, here is what first happened. I was driving and stopped at a light to
turn. I accelerated through the turn and then there was no power, I pushed
the gas a little but nothing. All of a sudden it was like the car
restarted and drove fine. I Parked in the parking lot and went inside and
when I came back out It had trouble starting. Again, a couple days later
it did the same thing. It was like it would start right up and then just
die down immediately.
I was told it could be the main relay, so we checked it and it looked fine,
and you can hear it click and initiate the fuel pump so we kind of ruled
that out. Especially since we heard it even when it didnt start. Next we
looked at the distributor. We were told that sometimes the Control Module
can short out and cause problems. But we are getting power to the coil,
just not the spark plugs. So, my rotor was a little messed up and I
replaced that and the cap. SAME PROBLEM. I can't even get it to start
now, it's gotten worse somehow. We are getting spark from the coil, just
not past it. I know the wires can handle a voltage b/c we used them to
test the coil.
What can the problem be? Would this occur if the coil was weak? My car
wont even start now. Please help!
BTW, I believe Control Module=Igniter
Is there spark at the dizzy?
Engine troubles while turning could be fuel starvation.
Thanks man. I narrowed it down to either the Control Module or Coil.
It was doing some weird stuff so I just decided to get the coil and if it
didnt work I would try hard to get them to take it back.
I put it on and it is working pretty well now, after I got all the excess
fuel to burn. It was DEFINITELY not fuel starvation. I hope this works
and it doesnt mess up any more.
