92 civic primary relay energizing delay
I am having problems with a primary relay on a 1992 honda civic. I have replaced the relay after the first round of diagnostics. I am still having a problem
When the enterior of the car is hot you must open it up and let it cool before the relay will receive electricity and make its first " click"
When the car is cool, you turn on the ignition, the CEL stays on from 10 sec to a minute, then you here the primary relay click, the fuel pump run and the CEL goes off. Presto it starts.
Here is what I have checked so far.
All fuses are good
When the #5 and #7 pin are jumped the fuel pump runs
I replaced the primary relay.. no change in problem
Jumped the 2p service connector- no diagnostic trouble code stored
Diconnected blue tach wire from ignitor, no change
Oh yah... it it has a NEW complete distributor assembly.. no change
I cleaned and greased the ECM ground on the thermastat housing and the main ground between the front grill area and the valve cover.
50* morning.. turn the ingnition on, wait SEVERAL SECONDS they main relay enrgizes
" click" then the secondary relay in the main relay activates and the fuel pump runs for 2 seconds,CEL goes off and the car will start.
If the car is hot inside you must first let it cool for a few min before this process takes place
Once you have got it started it will work like it should, turn the key, relays energize and CEL goes out after 2 seconds, car starts.
ANY IDEAS?? I am thinking ECM but I also thought Main Relay and Distributor... $300.00 dollars ago
