    1991 Honda Civic Si won't start 5 speed
    I just replaced quite a few parts on my 91 civic. Battery, Alternator, Drivers Side axle, radiator hoses, thermostat. After installing the new battery, I attempted to start the car. When turning the ignition on, the check engine light repeatedly turns on and off. The starter turns the engine over fine when I advance the key to actually try to start the car. The only thing that I have not completed is filling the gearbox with gear oil.

    Clean the main ECM ground on the thermostat and see if that solves the problem. If not, be sure to run the K-Test, since the ECM could be experiencing intermittent failure.

    As you as you mentioned clean the ground on the thermostat, I remembered I forgot to reinstall the ground. The car fired right up afterwards. Thanks, this was a huge help. Very fast response also!!
