  • hmmm maybe because its 22 years old?

  • Thanks I have this problem I will check that today!!

  • change ur mail relay under the dash !

  • Comment removed

  • needs a tune up check ignition rotor

  • maintance maybe ?

  • Need a new car dude

  • Its an old banger, buy a new car lol

  • you cant figure its out did u just stare at it and hope its would fix itself ..... ok pull a spark plug and check for spark if that works then you not getting full could be your pump or if its could out it could be frozen .... and please if you did not understand this take it to a mechanic before you fuck it up even worse

  • fuel not coming ?

  • wont turn over? yes it does......does it have spark, fuel?

  • Ignition switch

  • @PohlmanEric could the ignition switch cause this problem?

  • you fixed? if yes pls tell me i have the same problem

  • I really dont care about car names/styles etc, if its gets me where I need to go!! We had a 78 Accord long ago, had a points distributor, seemed like it made every noise, smoked all the colors of the rainbow but it never completely *died*, even going up into the mtns, we'd stop, let it *rest* a few mins, then start up & keep going! I'm glad you figured out your problem & it was something simple!

  • i agree try fill ing a bottle of petrol and pouring some of it into the carburetor this is like priming the engine

  • @gavalarsanders94 It does not have one to prime it has fuel injection so it would be a pump issue or not getting spark.

  • your not getting fuel to the carburetor

  • @hastonandrew2 It is a 91 it does not have a carburetor its fuel injected.

  • fuel pump!

  • Sweat Mileage.

  • why did you ask the retarded people of youtube.. go on forums

  • my 91 civic was down for over a year then we found out it was the main relay. sad it was down for sooo long and it was just a relay. sadder is my uncle was a mechanic and he couldn't figure it out til he talked to a honda mechanic who told him that was what it was. I love my civics. I've had 3 civics and a del sol. my last civic lasted me 8 years and only put about 1000 into it in repairs and would have been much less had a check it over once in a while and caught the probs befor ethey got bad

  • flooded engine, maybe??

  • flooded engine?? Maybe?

  • omg my 2001 honda civic is having the same problem now too i hate ittt omg i get so embarased sometime and my battery dies from so many attemps until i get a boost then it strts wht do i do?

  • I think its your " which honda calls the igniter". Check see if ya have spark if you dont replace the igniter

  • change your batttey stick where is engine shove in then done and very sorry about car won't start.

  • how long did it take you to find the problem? took me 2 months to find my sonoma didn't have a bad fuel pump and that it was only a ecm fuse.

  • my 91 hatch does that to me sometimes but i think its the fuel pump. not sure

  • add some rice maybe? lol jk but bang on the bottom left of the dash where the main relay is while cranking it my 89 had the same prob.

  • you have fuel ?

  • Either no spark or no fuel.

  • people should NOT do ANYTHING on their Honda's because it will be considered RICE. No GPS, no new Stereo, new tires. Only use the original tires. ANYTHING done to a Honda is "Rice". 

  • hey my man im 90% sure that your problem is the fuel pump...cus the starter sounds like is rotating but the fuel is not getting in the injectors to ignite the car....

  • cylinder head is cracked if it over heated and u continued to drive it..

  • Wow, that's in excellent condition for a '91.

  • Distributor modul ,change it

  • The main relay

  • thank god i found this video my car started doing the same thing after my timing belt broke ima see if it is that but its one of the things on my list.

  • mine is the same car and it used to do the same but i change the injections they were around $180 but it finally works!!!

  • Distributor?

  • use start pilot

  • i had that problem today too, but finally it started when i left the clutch in and it started by itself. i have 103,921miles on it

  • The main relay is common problem on the 88-91 Honda Civic/CRX/Wagovan. The soldering they used was cheap, and they develop dry joints, and in hot weather when the solder points expand, the circuit is open and your fuel pump will not turn on. You can tell if it's the main relay by listening closely after turning the key to the on position: if you hear a click followed by a hymning sound then your main relay is fine, if not, then your main relay needs to be replaced or rebuilt.

  • @mumin4u ...I think you solved my problem....much thanks!!!

  • My car is broke to but mine does not sound like that. I wants to turn over but it won't.

  • Main relay as the description says!

    I have a 99 civic 4door and it sounds like the same way.. For now.

    Thanks!

  • check fuel pump

  • Did you check your printer cable?

  • Fuel pumper.

  • my buddies old honda civic was like that everytime it was below a quarter tank i would not run... dryed up fuel pump

  • hella clean hatch!

  • its ther main relay

  • your out of gas

  • your problem is you bought a civic

  • wrong

  • man: is your main relay) (ecu fuse) or starer fuse !! (maive the coil get broke)

  • What about if it just happened sometimes. I have the same problem sometimes. It starts good but if it shut down then it will take about 5 mins to start. Any ideas?

  • Comment removed

  • I feel you, Man. I drive a 1990 Civic el cheapo with 260+K on it. If I had a choice, I would take a bicycle over this any day of the week. Yours looks so much like the one I drive. Can't wait until I don't have to drive it anymore. I like Honda Cycles better. Thanks for sharing.

  • Start from easy on down.... make sure you have spark. On the D-15-A1 block you have it should have throttle body fuel injection so you should see if the injectors are squirting fuel into the manifold. Just from hearing it i would say its not the engine. Causes could be ignition coil, broken wires to the coil, fuel pump, or cam or crank sensor. Hope that helped.

  • it may be your fuel pump or coil pack

  • @freestyle342 read the damn description.

  • wouldnt have that prob with a geo metro. lol jk but maybe its ur fuel pump. check it out

  • lol that's the same thing that happened to my 84 honda accord, I didn't have time to fix it so I sold it and after 2 weeks the people who bought came to my door and said it had a cracked engine block.

  • check the flux capacitor :)

  • right

  • lol okay check your ignition .. distributor !! it intends to burn out on that year do to lack of tune up... wires plugs and caop and rotor and of course a new distributor ! coil is burnt out ..

  • listen to see if your fuel pump turns on i got the same car and when my car is hot it doesnt turn on if i turn it off

  • Could have been the distributor cap, one of the connections off.

  • no spark

  • main relay lol great job my crx did the same thing turned out to be a loose fuse haha took about 6 months to figure it out till one day i started hitting shit n i hit the fuse box n it turn on lol

  • @joker16w your fuses is one of the first things to look at when your car doesn't start seeing as if you remove one of the fuses from your engine bay, depending which one, it usually will prevent your car from running

  • its ur fuel pump or distributer

  • check ur distributer

  • yo try giving it gas

    check your battery your rpms

    might be too high

  • feul pump relay most time the problem

  • i have just around the same problem with my cadillac just that i dont know what relay it is i know i could be a relay because i was messin around with them and didnt place them back in the right spot i dont know if that is the problem though.

  • te presto un encendedor!

  • it sounds like my Honda Civic 92 Dx......it won't start on the HOT DAY.....try to replace the MAIN RELAY...it located under steering wheel...above the switch that release the hood. it has one flat screw...Main Relay cost about $ 70 at the dealer....

  • I don't see why people hate on the car because Honda makes some of the best cars on the road today.

  • @PROgoth121 yea i know right all you need to do it maintanance and not beet them unless built for and thier a perfect car!!!

  • @PROgoth121 says the fucker that cuts himself hahahaha what a joke.

  • @PROgoth121 I just dont like Hondas or any 4 banger car when they have been riced. Before that, they are amazing!

  • @Motorfordtoyota

    So what constitute as being "riced"? if a guy has a japanese car, and all he wants to do is add say...new Wheels. all of a sudden he riced his car out?

    if the dude just wants to add a sound system. HOLY SHIT...he modded his car slightly! He just RICED his car!

    So the moral of the story is: Only people who own European and American cars can do ANYTHING to their cars. Don't tint a japanese car because it will automatically be considered "RICE".

  • @PROgoth121 you should drive around my streets, where every honda has its badges stolen off of it and a muffler thats dragging on the ground

  • @PROgoth121 i had this car when i was 17 and it fail on me once broken distributor rotor after that i drove it 400 miles every weekend for 5 months with low compression on the chamber idk wat was wrong with it cause i never check it :P

    i think this is a really good car as the matter of fact the guy i sold the cat to still have it and still running with the same engine its been 6 years ago

  • @PROgoth121 I wouldn't say best, but they make ok stuff. its not bad. They arent nearly as good as a porsche or even a VW. My audi could rape any new honda on the road, no matter how many stickers or fake hood scoops you put on it

  • @PROgoth121 I AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • yo tengo uno igual lo que puedo decir es que cheques bujillas y gas bomba

  • turn the swicht and way for the check engine light up if you hear a click turn the car if not open the door next to the fuse box hit it hard and then try again but way for the click and turn tha car

  • Comment removed

  • buy a golf then :)

  • could've waited to see if you could hear the fuel pump prime. That would've been a hint to the main relay..

  • Ha ha I love how he says "It just wont turn over" and then...

  • yes it is cute but its about time all of you get a real car!!! DSM baby

  • hey where is the main relay in a old civic im having the smae problem

  • I had this problem for about 3 months now, I just got lucky wen i kept trying to crank it and after like 5 minutes It would turn on. I did research last night and found out it really was the MAIN RELAY cuz ppl said its common for bad relays in Acuras and Hondas. I got my new relay at O'Reilly's Auto Parts today cuz i couldnt fix the old one myself cuz i couldnt take the cap off since the whole OEM one was bolted on in a tightly spaced area.

  • thats a real machine!!

  • could be alot of things sounds liek its crankin fule or a fuse maybe a bad wire

  • I vote for the main relay....

  • I have a 93 honda civic ex coupe....all of a sudden it wont start...no spark no nothing...when i turn the key it doesnt try to turn over or anything anymore first it tried to turn over now it just click click and thats it can some one help me here and tell me whats wrong with my car

  • if your car is going click its your starter.its bad.had the same problem.on 2 cars.but if it clickks alot its your battery!!

  • egr valve open

  • check ur distributor

  • maybe because its a honda

  • most reliable cars? yeah stfu dumb ass

  • found

    on

    road

    dead

  • Its the fuel pump. Try putting the key to "ON" wait 20 seconds. Then Crank it over, if nothing happens try pulling a spark plug out and plugging it but on and place it on something metal and get someone to turn the key to on. If there it no start then your narrowing it down to the distributor.

  • DISTRIBUTER, SPARK PLUGS,OR HT LEADS, its turning over but not sparking

  • hit it with a hammer that always works for me lol

  • distrubitor

  • take gas :P :D

  • its your cap and rotor on the disturbiter, its about 20 bucks at kragens

  • dissy, my car did that last winter i got a 91 zc civic

  • main relay under the hood,ignition coil test sparkplug wires for spark

  • distrubitor

  • i also think its the distrubitor .

  • It was the distributor!

  • hello...i have a honda accord ex 92 and we tried many times to start the engine. Theres a beeping sound. Do i need to wait until its off before the engine runs? Thanks

  • one more thing the gas gauge doesn't work

  • i have a 91 civi to but i have a harder problem i didn't start we changed the battery and know it starts but turns off after 3 miles or so, then i can't START it!! i have to wait till it gets cold! i checked the main relay by gettein one(used) and tryin it out but same thing

  • hey look up dieseling. i think when ur car keeps running without the key being in, its dieseling. its rear but some civics do this. google it u just might be able to fix the problem or buy a HAYNES mechanic book. its tells u how to fix that problem also. i read up on it on that book. but i dnt have it anymore

  • please help me

    i have a 1993 honda civic lx and it starts and runs awesome

    it just wont turn off!!!

    i can pull the key out when its parked but when i drive with no key it dies could i be the ignition cylinder or switch?

    or possibly the main relay

    your help would be greatly appreciated

    thanks alot

  • ahhh u sure its not the distributor cap???

  • if u crank for a whlle it will hurt ur starter motor i did mine in

  • First off i would rebuild the transmission, then if thats not it try repacking the muffler bearings with grease. I am sure your blinker fluid is topped off, if not then top it off with some grape kool aid with at least 2 sups of sugar. Might be a good idea to also rotate your spark plugs and put in a new spare tire filter. Check your coil packs by sticking your tounge on the wire while you have a friend turn over the engine.

  • coilpack or module ...it can be found in the distributor. it's common with the hatchy's

  • The main relay (?) hmm. you need 3 things to make a car run... Spark, Fuel, and Air. Main relay = spark... any of these 3 things are missing and it will not run. My first guess was "no spark". oh well. glad your car is running.

  • hmm my buick starts up every day

  • ill give you 100$ for it. no really, sounds to me like the fuel pump relay. I have the same car and it did go bad one day.

  • check the fuel pump my 92 accord used to do that to

  • no spark or fule pump pump it then crank it a while

  • You need to find out if it has lost spark or fuel. The easiest way I know to do this is to loosen the nut at the top of the fuel filter, turn the key on but don't crank it. If fuel comes out than it is probably an ignition problem, if it doesn't, than it is a fuel problem. Visit my channel if you still have the issue.

  • I got a 93 civic coupe that wont start i changed the starter...Im getting spark but like u said when i loosen the bolt at the top of the fuel filter and turned the key on no fuel came out at all....does that mean its my fuel pump??

  • I just posted a video that I think may help you. FYI Honda fuel pumps almost never go bad, watch the video I just posted on Honda No Start and see if that helps.

  • check if the plugs are properly gaped.. if thats not the issue then try the distubuter... if not change out the harness

  • fuel pump

  • try turning the wheel to the left or just get a new starter that happened to me at 180 190

  • it is also time to buy a new car you've done 184,060 miles and in Europe are 300,000 km.

  • bahaha thats nothing mine has 235 thou

  • try buying a intake cleaner bottle and spray it straight into the the throttle body(it the part where the black air tube is connected to)remove the tube from the throttle body and spray some intake cleaner into there and crank it if it starts and dies then it could be your fuel pump or fuel relay(main relay) or could be something eles..but it sound like a bad fuel pump

  • I got a 93 civic that wouldnt start so i did spray some intake cleaner into the throttle body and it did start up and shut right back off....does that mean its my fuel pump???

  • is there gas in it? i bet it has something to do with the fuel pump. that or a bad ground

  • if the battery was low it wouldnt crank over and you wouldnt have any gauges or lights coming on

  • Had the same problem with my integra but if i left the key in the forward position for 10 minutes it would start like nothing. Turned out to be the main relay. It's under the steering column area. the Main relay controls the fuel pump and the signal to the computer so if that fails the car will not turn on no matter what you do to it.. Save yourself the money and get the part threw ebay, it's alot cheaper..

  • main relay i bet

  • it a p.o.s. honda get a new fucking car

  • Yeah I know, it's a Honda!

  • wow. pos american cars wont go over 200 thousand like hondas can

  • yeah they can, will and have

  • thats fucked up cause i sold my 93 tempo with 230k and my crown vic has 320k on it now i work for ford and i see cars with over 200k every day, god damn ricer

  • oh I love fords. Cause I have two ford cars. They havent failed me yet. I am just against chevy cause my cavalier kept freaking breaking head gaskets

  • My 93 civic have 322000km. I change the engine for one reason because my old engine had a blown head gasket for too long but i still been able to drive now it as a broken axle and ball joint because I have been given too much abuse of the car at the track but still good for an other 100 000km.

  • flooded engine?

  • if you guys see his cel light is on.. no honda will start if the cel light stays on like this, heres my sugestion turn the key on and wait for like 5 minutes when the cel light turns off it will fire right up until then it is useless this is from your map sensor going bad mine is too and every once in a while it will do this if you still have no luck disconect your battery, all these damn kids think its spark... lol ;)

  • are you fucking stupid? my prelude runs with a knock sensor and egr code just fine. only certain codes wont allow the car to run. get your info straight

  • either no spark, or no fuel.

    easiest way to see if its got spark, take out one of the spark plugs and then plug it into the distributor. have someone crank the engine and see if there is a spark.

    simple :)

    fuel, thats kind of dangerous to fuck around with if you dont know what you're doing.

  • Could be distributer, sparkplugs, plugged fuel filter, dead fuel pump. Probably distributer. Have someone check it.

  • fuel fliter

  • it wont stat cuz it has over 800000 km on it buddy

  • i know that that is more powerful than my sister's toy car..it only has a 3.8L turbo intercooler V6 engine with a total of 274whp..

    and its 4X4..

    is ur 4.8L V8 silverado 4X4 or just 4X2?

  • nd u dont own a car..assface

    wats ur ride?

  • one more thing bro..

    maybe u dont have Enough gas..

    try this out..

    *jump start-maybe ur battery has low voltage..

    *put ur gear on neutral then ask a number of friends to push as fast as they can while u are turning the ignition "ON"..that is how i jump start my ae92 corolla...

  • noob answer..u know nothing..ass

  • try pumping gas bro..

    its carburetor..

  • pump the shit out of it

  • Sounds like you've got a bad fuel pump.

  • i agree

  • typical problem with honda. notoriously famous for this. The ignition coils always go on hondas but they sure do last forever!

  • lol i got same honda :P

  • I have the same car. This model has a factory defect in the Coil. It gets damaged because of the motor´s heat. It had to replace it twice. You can also replace it for an external coil to last more time.
