    91 Honda Civic DX Sedan is being a pill...
    I have a 1991 Honda Civic DX Sedan, on Oct 22, 06 I started the car, but then after 2 seconds it stalled, when I went to start the car again it would crank but not turn over. Before this the car either cold or warmed up would start to die down after starting it...

    Ruled out the fuel pump its working. Anyone know what else might cause it?

    Answer these 3 questions:

    1. When you turn the ignition to ON, does the Check Engine Light (CEL) come on for 2 seconds and then go off?
    2. Do you hear/feel the main relay "click," when the CEL goes out?
    3. Do you hear the fuel pump run, during the 2 second interval that the CEL is on?

    If you answered "Yes" to each question, then I would make sure the ignition system is in good shape; i.e. spark plugs, rotor, distributor cap, igniter, and coil. Pay particular attention to the igniter and coil, which are notorious for causing problems with Hondas. After you get it running, make sure to replace the fuel filter, if it hasn't been done in the last 60,000 miles. If you don't hear/feel the main relay "click," when the CEL goes out, then replace it.

    There is a cluster of ground wires located by the starter I believe they are for the ECU. I had the same problem from a bad ground.
