Car Forum / Honda Cars / September 2006Honda Wires Rock!!!
Recently, my '83 Honda Civic FE refused to start. A squirt of starting fluid in the carb did nothing. Hence, my attention turned to ignition failure. Changing the distributor did not fix it. Changing the coil did not fix it. Cleaning the (NGK) plugs barely allowed it to start. Once warmed up, it would run and start OK. Yesterday, I replaced the new coil wire with the old original OEM coil wire and............. Started right up as it did this morning! In fact, the car is running better than it ever has (while in my possession). BTW, I have learned a lot from the postings here from the regulars and others as well.

No "new" coil, just another Honda coil > So you think the cause was... ? Coil wire JT As always, great to hear about this '83 Civic.

They were fairly economical, but not nearly as durable as the present offerings. Earle > Goin' to look at another '82 parts car on Tuesday. Unfortunately, it is > a DX...

Damned thing never had any worthwhile brakes but otherwise, it sure took a lot of abuse as a rental car..
