Civic won't start
Hello, my 1995 Civic with 162000 miles has been rinnung like a top for years
until I bought my second car. Then it must have got jealous - it sat parked for about a week and when I went to start it today the engine turns over but the car won't start. The car has always started on a dime and has had no mechanical problems, I don't know what could have happened. It has half a tank of gas and the battery is fine. Does anyone know what might make the car just not start after it has been running fine for so long??? Thanks in advance for any advice! - Jay |

I've seen quite a few 92-95 civics need a main relay.

Re: Civic won't start
Me too, the '88 - '91 Civics and Accords too. However,
the problems aren't symptomatic of a (failing) relay. http://techauto.tripod.com/mainrelay.htm In article <vhfotjg9uo2gb3@corp.supernews.com>, "Jafir Elkurd" <jafir@nospam.no.spam.hotpop.com> wrote: >I've seen quite a few 92-95 civics need a main relay. > >"Uncle Mike" <me@homeoffice.com> wrote in message >news:rfRRa.5977$eP6.850808@news20.bellglobal.com. .. >> In article <sKKRa.10989$Vx2.4935178@newssvr28.news.prodigy.co m>, "Jay" ><jb007gd@yahoo.com> wrote: >> >Hello, my 1995 Civic with 162000 miles has been rinnung like a top for >years >> >until I bought my second car.
