Honda Guys?

i know a few of you mess around with hondas as well as your trucks so i was going to ask a question to see if anybody can help me out. Dad has a 91 honda civic hatch that runs like a champ. Once it gets hot outside like 90+ days his car will not crank. After he leaves his doors open for 5 or 10 minutes it will fire right up. Sometimes it does it sometimes it doesnt. Has no coorelation with engine temp or last time driven. You guys know of anything in these cars that get hot and cause it not to crank?

check the ing. relay not sure where it is on them but its a place ot start.. my brothers bmw did that..everything turned on like it was working but it just didnt crank over...therelay wasnt telling the starter to turn on

Nah it turns over just fine but wont start. As soon as you leave the doors open for 5 or 10 minutes it fires right up.

fuel pump relay those square civics were terible for that, at least every one i had, there under the dash hence why it craps when it gets hot, the blower motor on cool outside air will speed the restart when in a jamb...lol

So is there anyway to fix it? haha










-Justin

order a new one maybe parts store or dealer and swap it out.

So are the new ones of a different design to keep it from doing this?








-Justin

don't know after installing never had one longer than 6 months to know if it was permanent. the stock ones failed from age and fatigue so I imagine it would be good for many years

oh okay cool. Guess I might have to pick one up for it and see if it fixes it.

Got a '90 hatch myself. I cheated on mine, I drilled a X like a dice in both ends to help it breath. An when I put it back in I mounted it so it was like a stack so if it got warm the hot air would make it out the top.
