Hey guys, I've got a 91 CRX HF that has had a ZC swapped into it, but now it is seized due to some oil issues. I'm moving and I don't really have the means to put it back on the road or take it with me. Let me tell you about the car. The good: 92 Civic heater controls already wired in (not...

I left my CRX ZC hanging out for a few months (8) unused. I started it back up with no real issues, even though I was expecting a few. Once it started to get cold outside the car started to miscalculate the required amount of fuel until the engine got warm. I couldn't go anywhere because the...

I rebuilt the engine ground coming from the valve cover. I don't really know where more are. I'll happily check those if someone wouldn't mind telling me where the others are. Unfortunately, it's not just the light. It will (because it has before) cause the car to eventually stop running. I...

So the problem is back. I thought I had fixed the issue, I tightened down a few loose electrical connections and check for grounded wires, to no avail. The car did run fine for about 300 miles before showing off the problem again. My 87Si has been acting like the alternator is dying. At low...

Hey gang, I wanted to make sure I did this properly before I started tearing a wire out of the harness looking for the ground. The problem is a grounded wire that is causing the Alternator to be unable to recharge the battery. I went through the Haynes method to confirm that it was a grounded...

So I found my voltmeter hidden behind my couch. But I have no manual. Does anyone know how to set it for continuity? I have the following functions; DCV, ACV, DCA, 10A, hFE, resistance, and and arrow pointing at a plus sign. It's the actron 20 dollar voltmeter from autozone if anyone knows what...

Anyone know which wire 'charges' the battery? I'd rather not try to replace all four when I can just change the one.

Unfortunately, my voltmeter disappeared shortly after I bought my new one. I've been looking for it for some time, but have yet to find it. It's probably hiding somewhere real well in the CRX.

The light does come on. The flow chart hasn't worked well for me in the past, but I can give it a go.

Hey gang, back for another conundrum. My 87 CRX Si started to show signs of not being able to charge the battery. I figured I had a little bit of time so I bought the Alternator and tried to drive the rex as little as possible. One night it died on the way home from work. I got a jump to charge...

I'm going to have to make a junkyard trip soon since this CRX (87 Si) is trying to get me killed and I'm curious what other cars (if any) I can pull a few parts from. I'd love some input that could really save me some time when making the trip. Thanks in advance! I'm looking to get the seat...

It was the distributor. The seal that held in the bearings inside the distributor started to come out and some of the bearings were coming out and being eaten by the rotor. There's a small bit of misfire, but I'm pretty positive it's because I haven't had the chance to set the ignition timing...

It was a reman. The old one was capable of starting the car, just not moving it very well at all. The new one, couldn't event make the car stumble trying to start. I've order a new one from napa this time. I'll see how that goes on Tues.

anything else I need to look for before assuming the distributor is dead?

I got a distributor, from a state away and after installing it, it would not spark. The ignition module (or whatever that is that runs the wire going TO the distributor works, but the car simply won't spark. I tested the two sensors just to check and they are both fine.

It's not quite as expensive as I was ready for, which is a pleasant surprise. It's 165 after core.

My mechanic mentioned that the play in the rotor could be expected if the rotor was spring loaded. I took of the rotor button and the black shield in between the rotor and the rest of the distributor came off behind it was a pile of shaven metal. I'm guessing some part of the inside of the...

I took the distributor cap off today to check inside. The cap needs to be replaced, but more interestingly were many shaven metal bits inside the cap and on the distributor. It looked like a ball of silver glitter exploded inside. I couldn't see how to remove the rotor button (it must be...

From what you've suggested my skills cover checking the spark plugs and the ecu code. I'll have to check the plugs at my next available juncture.

Apparently the TPS should read 4.5 wide open. Which means that is not the problem. I'm out of ideas again. :(
