    honda civic randomly hard to start
    MY 89 civic dx randomly is hard to start,I have replaced the main relay, fuel pump,plugs, cap and rotor.It runs top knotch, usually fires up right away, but every once in a while is hard to start.The relay I replaced was a $40 knock off rather than the $130 honda, it is also smaller than the original,I don't know if this matters though, as well I keep getting trouble code 16.

    DTC 16 indicates a fuel injection problem. See if you can head each injector click, when the engine is running. If not, check resistance of the bad injector and replace, if necessary.
