On the off chance that somebody on here might be in or near Glenwood Springs CO - & could Recommend a Honda Dealership or Independent Shop who could help my son out on a no start issue from this morning 7/22/17?
Please let me know. He has a 1988 Honda Civic DX 1.5 with EFI, drove from Denver area last evening, then would not start this morning - nor with push or jumper cables. That's all I know so far. Being a Saturday, it may be hard to find a shop open. TIA! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |

If it doesn't respond to the ignition key at all, it's probably the ignition switch. I've done hundreds on recall and yours may be included. Most dealerships would recognize this as a common issue and managed to get you taken care of - sorry your experience didn't reflect that. There's a few other possibilities but after checking the basics, that's where I'd go with the diag. It's less than an hour job easily.

MGP, Would that be ignition switch recall for a 1988 with over 200,00 miles on it? Unfortunately he hasn't told me what it was that their friend-of-a-friend helped him fix, & he's not much of a mechanic type - so I'm in the blind. However, it sounded like they did get the ignition switch to work, just no joy - so I think fuel or spark or electrical - but I'm guessing in the dark Apparently last night they only made it as far as Grand Junction CO, then it quit again, so today he's having it towed to be fixed during the week, & renting a car to continue their trip.
