Civic EG

i have a 92 honda civic dx sedan and about 2 weeks ago it had trouble starting. the car would just crank and crank but not start. 1 out of 3 tries the car would eventually start. i realized that the fuel pump was only priming on occasion as well. i was driving home from school one day and i turned a corner and the car just ended up dying on me. i tried to start it after it died out, but no anvil just crank. i pushed my car back to the house and re soldered the main relay. every time i turn my key into second position it primes which is not the problem anymore. the car still wont start just crank. i changed the spark plugs, cleaned out distributor cap, restarted ecu, charged the battery and still don't have a start. i am now lost as to what i should do. i need to car for school, but i guess in the meantime ill take the bus. any suggestions would help! thanks!

well pull one of the plugs leave it hooked to the plug wire and set it on the valve cover. Have a friend turn her over and check for spark. If your getting spark then check to see if you have fuel. My guess is you have a fuel issue.

when it is cranking, do you get any sputter at all like it wants to try to start?

i just filled up my tank full of gas as well. if it was a fuel issue how would i go about checking for the problem? and i will check the spark tomorrow morning as its very cold and dark now.

the cranking just keeps cranking and cranking, i feel like its wants to start but i am not too positive on this.


p.s thanks for the quick reply guys! means a lot

check spark at all plugs, if you have that move on, if not check the cap.

Check for fuel at the plugs, Check for a wet plug.

If no fuel check lines or pump, if fuel check timing.

that a basic start
