the other day i was driving my car and it just, all of a sudden cut off on me. I smelt a wire burning and my car just died, now my parking lights stay on. my lights wont work, car turns over but not firing.. i have no idea what it could be!! i have a 92 civic hatch just give me ideas and i will try

 

Invest in a voltmeter, test out the small things via Helms guide.

Could be the main relay, not sure. Check your fuses as well.

 

yea i checked all my fuses none seem to be fried i have no clue i guess i am goin to have to take it somewhere ne other ideas

 

the helms manual has a wiring diagram you need to spend an afternoon checking any and all wires for shorts conserning the ignition and fuel system, if you smelled it i would start inside the car around the steering column your gonna check from one end of the wire to the other end of the same wire so take off the baterry so you have nothing to worry about this happen to me once and it turned out to be a wire connected to the ignition relay that wore out the insulation then grounded out and fried itself....took about 2 bucks to fix but 2 hours to find just be patient wiring diagrams arent hard at all just take your time

 

usually either the main relay or a coil gone bad, if you know a friend w/ the same engine, ask if you can borrow their distributor, main relay should click when u turn the key to the on position, you will hear the click near the fuse panel under the dash

 

yea but would my distributor be causing my lights to go out.... i think i am gonna have to take the steering column and my dash off,,, but its worth it to have my car back,,, thanx

 

OMFG, the trolls even post tech questions in the FS forums...haha.

 

Um, why exactly did you put this in 'Want to Buy / Trade' ?!?

Moving accordingly...

 

actually i posted it as tech talk, but came up as want to buy/trade. But more importantly i asked for help and suggestions to fix my problem if you dont like that i posted it as to buy or trade get over it!!!! now if you dont have ne solutions dont waste my time with your bullshit threads
thx

 

I think you said that you like to dip your dingleberries in soy milk before sticking them in your nose, but I could have missed the translation a bit...

As for the bullshit thread, we actually make pertinent threads in pertinent sections, whereas YOUR thread is random and rediculous.

Oh, maybe you meant our REPLIES to YOUR BULLSHIT THREAD. Maybe...I dunno though, I'm still thinking "dingleberry" is in there somewhere.
