Re: Main relay?

And also check to make sure your spark plugs are good, and your not getting spark to any of the cylinders, or else it's a sparkplug/cable problem most likely.

it was effecting his spark
I was there when he was checking for spark man, there was no spark then replaced the main relay, may not be for fuel but when he replaced it, he got spark and the engine started up fine.

i am doubting it's a fuel problem. i have fuel, its not the control module, now getting a spark at the coil. there's a bent spring of some sort, but i'm really at a loss as to waht it could be. i just changed the plugs in march and haven't even gone 5K sicne then, so i dont think its that either. still mgiht be a bad coil, plan to try that tomorrow. i dont know shit about checking fuses, they were just checked in april after my car got hit. i guess april was 8 months ago. damn stupid car. is it the box up to the top left of the car? next tothe batterY?
and c'mon guys, civics aren't a muscle car, if you've ridden in fear this's car you'd know a civic woudlnt stand a chance
edit: if this helps, lemme explain how the car went. stopped at an intersection for the light, began to accelerate when it turned green, suddenly the car "stalls" out (best way i can explain it) and nothing. try restarting, almost starts, but no go. hasn't run since then. wtf happened for it to go catastrophically like that hwen its been running fine?

I was just fukin with yall to get so traffic here
See no spark at plugs and hear/smell fuel pump, Got good belt. I replace rotor/cap, ignition control unit/ignitor and still got no spark at plugs. BUT I noticed just now that U have spark at the coil!!!! WTF? I know all 4 plug wires didnt suddenly go bad.
I think the spring tip of the coil got bent and isnt making a good cnotact but I dunno. Anyone????????????????

ah yes esp when its not running. har har. funny.
either way he could give me a 30 car lead and still kick my ass. applicable to most civics regardless of whats done to them. *shrug* i could beat a stock 4 cylinder mustang hands down. just not this particular mustang.
