Car Forum / Honda Cars / October 2005Major Problems With 89 Honda Civic Hatchback
I just had a clutch put in my honda yesterday and the car drove fine for about 45 minutes the the check engine light came on. Now when i release the clutch with it in gear the main relay cuts off. Then press the clutch back in it turns back on. Any suggestions as to what the problem is?????????? > I just had a clutch put in my honda yesterday and the car drove fine for > about 45 minutes the the check engine light came on.

Any suggestions as to what the problem > is?????????? get the codes off the ecu and tell us what they are. go to tegger.com and read how to do it. I found out what the problem is now its just figuring out how to fix it without relacing everything. There is a problem with my fuel injector circuit. I wonder if it could be from where the mechanic didnt bolt some stuff back on, or if actually the injectors are bad. Opps, i forgot to mention that the codes that came up on my ECU where 16 and 20. 16 being Opened or shorted fuel injector curcuit, & 20 being Electrical Load Detector/Sensor. > Opps, i forgot to mention that the codes that came up on my ECU where 16 > and 20. 16 being Opened or shorted fuel injector curcuit, & 20 being > Electrical Load Detector/Sensor. 16 is almost always main relay. read about it in tegger's faq's. Well there inlays another problem. I just replaced the main relay a few months back. Also i took the relay out of my rear defrost and put it for my main relay and the car still did the same thing. The relay works fine until i release the clutch with the car in gear. Then it clicks crazily and the car dies. > Well there inlays another problem. I just replaced the main relay a few > months back.

Then it clicks crazily > and the car dies. if you think you swapped out the rear defrost relay for the main relay, you didn't. the two are different patterns and different functions - entirely different components. suggest you locate the /real/ main relay and try again. read tegger's main relay section in the faq's. it's got the location of the main relay for your car well described. its not the main relay. I dont know what the problem is with the car. if anyone has anymore suggestions please post them here or email me with them. > its not the main relay.

The power source to the main relay probably cuts out and the engine stalls and release a code 16. The power source can cut out due to a bad igniting switch. To troubleshoot, notice how the instrument gauges go dark and confirm whether that terminal blk/yel on the main relay has power when the ignition is on during the symptom. could it be a fault in the neutral safety switch?? |
