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 /////// |

Thanx for the input guys.
I'd suggested the typical fuel & spark checks, relays, coil, regulator, injectors, fuel pump, etc. They did find a friend of a friend who helped him get it going again. He didn't say what it was, so I'll find out more when they get here tomorrow or Monday, & then get it to my mechanic for a going over. However, when he called the local Honda dealership there in the morning - Phil Long Honda, they told him he had to wait until Monday, even though they were open until 4 pm & most other shops/dealerships would at least try to help somebody stuck on a road trip to at least see if it were something simple & if it really needed to wait until Monday. To me, that is just piss poor business practice! I certainly would never recommend them for that type of BS! PS - Yes Valy, he has AAA with Premier Membership - so he has towing, trip interruption, coverage, etc. - but it doesn't help if the dealer turns him away! Thanx for your help, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
