Ok so here the deal my integra will start when it wants, 90 percent of the time it will no issues, about 3-4 times so far it has just not, it does crank.


Factors to consider

No cel

Done it with full tank of gas and 1/4 tank

Just instaled new cb exhaust and cat, cat was aftermarket so it was like an inch too long and now the corner bend touches the gas tank.


Any ideas guys thanks

 

Ignitor and or ignition coil.
Depending how handy you are you can test there resistance of these parts when the distributor assembly is taken apart and if they are below OEM spec you know they are shot.

This almost describes my exact problem when I first got my car, it would turn on sometimes and sometimes not. I believe this is a sign of the parts on their way out.

 

Thanks i'l try to check that out.


So its a toss up between main relay and ignitor and coil? 50/50 or what?

 

i'd do something about your exhaust piping touching the fuel tank, that doesnt sound very safe. maybe get some fiberglass between the two or something to keep that heat from conducting directly to the tank.

 

Both have been known to go out in Honda's so I would test both. I'm not 100% familiar with how to test the main relay. Maybe find a good one and then just swap it in and see if that solves the problem.

All you need is a multimeter to test the ignitor and coil.

 

The coil isn't too expensive, luckily I had one lying around at my house when that same problem occurred with me. I would try the least expensive one first, then if that doesn't work do the other thing. In the end you know you have new parts so if anything else happens then you can rule those out.

 

when does the problem occur,(first thing in morning, after driving for a while ,etc.).Did you check the basics(fuel,spark)
