Hello I have a 1991 honda civic that I think it has a electric problem
Sometimes I start it and it won't even turn over and when I'm driving at night sometimes all my lights go off but I'm still driving the car when I put the headlights on my engine sounds like its running low I let it run for a while then took out my battery to see if it's the alternator but it ran fin so I think it might be a electric problem something to do with my light if someone could help my so I know what I'm looking for that would be great

If it's the dash lights that go out, check the ignition switch for wear, pitting, or melting:

I would also get the battery and alternator tested, which many auto parts stores will do for free.

Where is the electric fuel pump on the Honda 1600 DOHC year 1990 situated on the car?
