Re: 90 hatch, dpfi, solid cel, details inside

good luck with it colton, sounds like what mine was kind of doing when i was telling u about it, first thing i did check for fuel,spark,compression if those are all good then its basic guess and check til you get it right, so let me get this right bro when u have the fuel pump on its throughs a solid cel when its off it wont right?

Re: 90 hatch, dpfi, solid cel, details inside

with the ignition on:

fuel pump on = no cel

fuel pump off = solid cel

Re: 90 hatch, dpfi, solid cel, details inside

Check and make sure all of your injectors are firing

Hey, there is a fuse in the underdash box that supplies power to the fuel pump, main relay, ecu and a couple of other things. When this fuse is blown, the car will crank but will not start, but you will also get no check engine light cause the ecu is not working. What I am thinking, is that somehow, when you turn on the "fuel pump switch" it is backfeeding some of the other circuits and allowing you to get cel, but still not working right. Hope your following me here. So, with you saying that there were some wires that were shorted, I am thinking the ELD has gone bad. The ELD is located in the underhood fuse box, open that box and sniff it (lol, I said sniff the box). If it smells burnt or has an "electrical smell" to it, it is most likely bad. If you have one you can swap it with, swap it out and make sure the fuse that I mentioned is still good and give it a try. If you have any questions or if nothing I said made sense, you can shoot me an email or PM (if they are working).

Just shell?

Re: 90 hatch, dpfi, solid cel, details inside

So what is going on with this? Did you figure it out?

?? My 89 dx doesn't have a fuel pump fuse. All the wiring diagrams I've seen for 88-91 civic's show the fuel pump connecting directly to the main relay.

Re: 90 hatch, dpfi, solid cel, details inside

yup, i resoldered my main relay and every thing runs good now. just put a new headgasket on too.
