90 CVIC Start Problem

[thatboatguy]

Hi,

I’m new to the forum and looking for help with an intermittent starting problem with my 90 Civic.

When the outside temperature is hot, the car will sometime refuse to start. It does turn over at normal speed.

When I cracked the fuel service port I got only a dribble of fuel even with the key on.

Could this be a main relay problem? Fuel pump? It looks like there are two relays on the fuse block in the passenger compartment. One comes unplugged readily. The other one seems to be stuck or is not meant to be removed.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

George

Here are two links that helped me solve the problem myself.

Thanks to Tony (and google) who put me on the right track!

And I probubly should have read the FAQs here too before posting. Sorry. But I do hope that these links come up in case other newbies need the information.

don't worry about the FAQs if you have a normal question. if you are having fuel problems i would start there. having your car not start could be a million different things.

you might have a bad ground, check all your fuses, could also be a starter or the fuel problem.
