mpearce1974 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 hey i have an 89 crx, i think its the basic model. My rpoblem is...my car wont satrt after running it for a while. If i try starting it, nothing happens. Ignition,starter,battery are fine, but if i were to wait few mintues it would then go on. What can possibly be my problem? Mostly in hot weather, or all the time? I have had several Hondas, one of them a CRX, that in hot weather would like vapor lock on me! Have to get out take gas cap off, then start right up! I really dont understand why, I mean its a pressurized system, not like a 70's Ford pick-up! >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elusiveshame Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Could be the distributor. Same sort of thing happened with my ZC, ended up having to replace the dizzy because after a while, it just wouldn't spark at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6foot5andlovemyCRX Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 If it cuts and then starts after sitting for a while, you probably need to replace the main fuel cut relay. It is a common failure in all hondas and often missed by auto mechanics. These are the symptoms to watch for 1) car cuts and won't start. 2) you wait a half an hour and it starts. 3) problem is highly intermittent and only occurs once in a while, and you never know when you will get stranded. 4) when it is working it works fine and there is no sign of any trouble. 5) you and/or you rmechanic have checked the ignition and there is no apparent problem. If you are getting these symptoms just replace the main fuel cut relay, and the problem will probably go away. anyone else agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Main Fuel Relay would be the first thing I would check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
