http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBUYs539cy4endofvid [starttext]This video is a response to the Honda Main Relay video that I did. I've had a couple of people come to me with questions about no start conditions and how they should go about fixing them. This video is a starting point to a series that I plan to cover on this subject. The point I make in the video over and over is, don't make assumptions. Assumptions get expensive and can frustrate you to the point of homicide, follow these simple tips and it will lead you down the path of success.hey i have a 78 f100 ranger xlt i have a problem when i try to start my truck all it does is make a loud noise i done took the starter and alternator and battery to autozone and they said they were fine and put them back in checked the wiring i dont know what to do [endtext]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S63OGGSP_JQendofvid [starttext]If main relay is not the problem, check fuel pump. If fuel pump is not the problem, then, most likely ECU. I ended up replacing car's computer unit(ECU) after all. Then, it all fixed it! When car gets old, ECU also ages. As a result, aged ECU can create a "phantom symptom" such as clicking noise of main relay, malfunction of fuel pump, etc. I am not sure if ECU is the cause of your CRX's problem or not, but in my case, it fixed the problem. Good luck. [endtext]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssYpyXjGw9gendofvid [starttext]Older Acura/Honda models (especially Acura Integras) often don't start in hot weather. Reason is a defective fuel pump relay. This instructional video shows how to locate the relay, remove it, fix its soldering points, and put it back in.will it work on a 93 acura legend, if so what color does it need to be because my bf bought a red little box when i thought it was the black box. did he get the right one.Not sure what kind of relay a 93 legend needs, but the part number should be easy to find by Googling. Different models use different relay types which aren't interchangeable, so make sure it's the right one. [endtext]

I admire your patience when going through your diagnostic steps for isolating the starter as the problem. There are a lot of folks who would have thrown a starter at it first. I also liked the remote switch, I'm going to have to get one of those. One more thing..I learned that I'm not the only person that casually says "B+", which is awesome. [endtext]

If it is cranking but not starting, you have something electrical which is causing the no-start condition. It could be a number of things from the fuel pump to a bad relay, to a number of other items. [endtext]

Its more the coolness and practicality of it. I can just sit in my kart n go, i dont have to spend 5 mins starting it all the time. Im thinking of putting a 250cc motorcycle engine on it instead.

The tools needed are appropriate size sockets and wrenches and an elbow socket extender. There will be one bolt right in the open on the actual starter on the bottom, the other one is in an awkward spot above it. Use the elbow socket extender the get the proper position on it. Hope this helps anyone. [endtext]

Careful diagnostics are less work in the long run, and more satisfying than just throwing parts.

[postlink] http://how-to-auto-repair.blogspot.com/2012/04/fuel-pump-problem.html[/postlink] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suxG4zljlNEendofvid [starttext]Before buying a new pump or anything,check the fuse for the fuel pump,and check the fuel pump relay. My 84 towncar for sure has a bad fuel pump. It drives well until I drive it about an hour or so,then it'll start to backfire and have no gas pedal response,also the pump is very loud. Good luck if you haven't fixed it yet. [endtext]

Fuel Pump Problem

[postlink] http://how-to-auto-repair.blogspot.com/2012/04/fuel-pump-relay-problem.html[/postlink] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEjmo_qT4yQendofvid [starttext]If you have no power at the pump fuse then you have a fusible link problem. I believe these are attached to the starter battery post. Maybe you left one off when you did the tranny or you connected one to the wrong post. All fusible links must go to starter battery post. The post that has the positive battery cable. [endtext]

I had the same problem with mine. Th old ford fuel filter in the side has O rings on the gaskets. I had someone install an aftermarket fuel filter housing. There's no O rings on it like the stock filter. My truck fires up all the time now. [endtext]

If you connect to the motor directly and bypass the solenoid, the motor will spin but not extend.

The sound is the power reaching the starter. It could be the flywheel or the starter shims, but sounds like a bad solenoid. If you remove the starter and leave the wires connected, just have someone turn the key. If the gear inside the starter gear does not jump out (every time) and spin VERY fast it is the solenoid. The solenoid is the problem a lot of cars have, its normal. At least you have power reaching the starter. solenoid![endtext]

Penetration oil and manually flick the dog usually frees it up. [endtext]

But i cant tell you for sure without proper inspection. i got a fuel pump video coming soon. [endtext]

But little cars have little batteries, just like this honda. Over time batteries lose their ability to hold a charge. It happens a lot sooner with small batteries. Its a no brainer.
