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 /////// |

The main relay is a known trouble point on that generation of Honda. If it's like my 1990s were, it is located behind one of the interior panels to the left of the driver's knee. You may need to remove a change tray or similar part to be able to pull the panel out. (After you've pulled it apart once you can actually replace the relay blind, without removing the panel, but it's much easier the first time to just remove it.)
The common failure mode is that the solder joints on the circuit board start failing. They can be re-soldered by someone who knows what they're doing with a soldering iron. I hadn't heard of the ignition switch being a weakness in that generation of Civic. --DD |
