New to the forum, but I'm running into a problem I curently have a 91 civic HB Dx, first of all I've been having a problem turning the car on in the mornings or when it has been runnig for a while, and trn off the car it will take a couple cranks in order to turn on, also when I take long trips my check engine light comes on after 20 minutes, and now I have recently chekd the ecu code and turns out it does this: the first two blinks are not long they are fairly short. Blink (pause) blink (pause) then 16 quick blinks. What can this be I have no clue how to read the codes, or what it means. Please I need some help so ican fix it as soon as possible beucase it is affecting my MPG.:( :(







OK great, THANKS. I will check the relay, would you say that one of my fuel injectors might be dirty? Should I take them out and make sure the screan is clean ? And also how would I do the fuel injector test? The clicks sound when the car is off and you crank it or when it is on.

Code 16--Fuel Injector.

I would begin by replacing the PGM-FI Main Relay, which is a problematic component and likely causing your starting problem. Also, listen to each fuel injector, making sure you can hear each one click--if not, replace.

No need to remove them, at this point. Just start your car and listen for each injector to click.
