quick crx questions.. obd0 or obd1
 

car was running fine till i pulled into the driveway hard and the car turned off.. wouldnt turn over.. popped that hood saw that the starter ground was off.. put it in and it started turning over but wouldnt turn on.. just checked it now with my sister (shes gone now so i cant test again.. i dont have anyone else to help me) and theres no spark going to any of the plugs.. i can hold it by the tip and she cranks the car over and i dont get shocked... ------- lame :(

so far ive checked all the fuses.. assuming when the starter ground came off it fucked some fuses? but none are blown.. lame;

you fail at life

Re: quick crx questions.. rad fan and something else...
 

hey buk. shut the ---- up and boost it, thats your problem ;)

Re: quick crx questions.. rad fan and something else...
 

lol at car on in the air and it spins in nuetral LOL HAHAHAHHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAH HAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHHAHAHAHA HHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAH AHAHHAHA

Re: quick crx questions.. rad fan and something else...
 

is it red? A/C Compressor cycle wire

Re: quick crx questions.. rad fan and something else...
 

This is just a completely off the wall guess...

If it's spinning slow enough to be able to stop it with your hand, then you can probably safely assume that nothing solid is causing it to spin. Possibly just the fluids moving in the transmission are moving it?

Re: quick crx questions.. rad fan and something else...
 

didnt spin in the air before i swapped the tranny and engine so i was wondering if it was because i installed something wrong

jesus christ chill

its not red.. its black.. and it comes off the fan.. theres a selenoid next to it...

lame..

my fan arent coming on...

Re: quick crx questions.. rad fan and something else...
 

its ------- winter what you need a fan for ? hook it up to the fuse box to something that on when the car is on if you really want it working, the tire spinning is normal and you are a NEWB

Re: quick crx questions.. rad fan and something else...
 

is that wire a ground or is there 12v coming from it? ground it or put put power to it and see what it does, lol.

Re: quick crx questions.. rad fan and something else...
 

umm is me being a newb news to you?

why do you think i stay out of tech and keep my questions in the gd...

so a car wont over heat in the winter? lol..

i just never saw my tire spinning like that.. and had it jacked up plenty times..

w/e.......

im gonna ground it and see what happends...

right now waiting on a caliper.... lame..........

Re: quick crx questions.. rad fan and something else...
 

buk when i went to bed last night, one of my balls hurt. it's fine today, but i'm not sure why that happened

Re: quick crx questions.. rad fan and something else...
 

im just ------- with you, dont be such a cry baby :P, search on google for fan install crx or something, id look for you but i have to go back out and finish putting my dash in my car, finally got my ----------ing heater core working after 3 installs, bought 2 bad ones.. fine fine here i searched quck hope this helps nigga http://crxcommunity.com/viewtopic.ph...72283d30b8d2a8

Re: quick crx questions.. rad fan and something else...
 

ive jumped into bed before and landed in a way that my right nut got smashed.. it hurts alot... and i had a bruise down there for a while...

i suck at this ---- imma have to grab some pics when i get to the car later on today.. my wiring wasnt touched but i did take out the a/c ----... he kept saying ---- in that thread about female connector... and ---- about run it to the other side.. christ i suck at life...


either way goiung to pick up the caliper now.. gonna be a bitch bleeding the brakes alone.. the system is 100% drained and full of air.. hahahahahahah

Re: quick crx questions.. rad fan and something else...
 

fuckers not starting anymore :(

Re: quick crx questions.. rad fan and something else...
 

Buk, seriously if you really want the your fan to work get a toggle switch and hard wire the fan. :1

Re: quick crx questions.. rad fan and something else...
 

she purrrrrs again flawlessly

except for the fans not running :-p

Re: quick crx questions.. rad fan and something else...
 

thats what I would do.

Re: quick crx questions.. rad fan and something else...
 

That's what I did. O0

Re: quick crx questions.. rad fan and something else...
 

ok what the ---- now its not running again.. has spark has fuel because i can hear that ----

plugs are getting coated in black ---- quickly.. its not oil.. or gunk.. or w/e its like residue

wtf..

the way i got it started earlier was i changed the plugs and it still wouldnt start so i took one plug out connected it to the wire and just set it into the spark plug hole.. cranked it over and she started and ran on 3 cylinders... turned it off.. put the 4th plug back in connected it.. turned it on and it ran fine.. even drove it arround the block.. then as i was pulling into the driveway the car died... then wouldnt start.. looked under the hood.. and the starter ground was off... put it back in.. now it cranks.. but doesnt start.. tried the taking plug out and cranking it thing.. nothing..

------- lame

now i have a dead battery :(

Re: quick crx questions.. rad fan and something else...
 

no spark :(

Re: quick crx questions.. no spark :(
 

It's not going to shock you if you just hold it, you need to have the plug near a ground for it to spark.

Re: quick crx questions.. no spark :(
 

ive gotten shocked by holding it before...

ummm

i touched it to the top part of the aluminum valve cover inside where the sparkplug drops in and it still didnt spark?

Re: quick crx questions.. no spark :(
 

does it turn over at all?

Re: quick crx questions.. no spark :(
 

yea turns over fine and sounds very healthy

Re: quick crx questions.. no spark :(
 

Dude is your driveway kind of a hill that you have to go up because sounds like some fucked up wiring or loose wire that moves and causes problems. Just a guess from my quick read

Re: quick crx questions.. no spark :(
 

thats why i said how it died.. i hit the driveway pretty hard and sharp.. now im trying to figure out what wiring might have come off to cause no spark..

i checked it all.. saw nothing obvious..

Re: quick crx questions.. no spark :(
 

ok just went out to the car and definatly no spark..

d/c one of the wires from the dizzy and touched it to it and no sparky.. also pulled a plug and connected it to the wire and touched it to various grounds on the chassi as well as the engine and no sparky..

tomorrow ill pull off the dizzy and check that ----...

Re: quick crx questions.. no spark :(
 

check all grounds. thermostat ground, etc etc. take all of them off and clean them up with a wire wheel.

Re: quick crx questions.. no spark :(
 

second thing i did after checking all the fuses :(

Re: quick crx questions.. no spark :(
 

buk you dumbfuck you just cant 'touch' the sparkplug to things to get spark, you need a working ignitor and an engine that cranks over.

Re: quick crx questions.. no spark :(
 

complex.. i know yuriys told you alot of things about me.. but im not that stupid :(

my sister was cranking the car over..

tomorrow im checking the ignitor.. just making sure there wasnt anything obvious that i missed

Re: quick crx questions.. no spark :(
 

Do you have a helms manual?

Re: quick crx questions.. no spark :(
 

ignitor most definitely... no other reason for spark to ---- the bed

Re: quick crx questions.. no spark :(
 

just swapped the dizzy with one i know works because it was off the old engine that ran perfect... no spark :(

the plugs have carbon on em and i cleaned em up a bit.. but is there ANY way that all four plugs can foul in just under 1 hour of running????? :(


no.. i got a shop manual i got off hmt.. ill take a look at it in a bit...

Re: quick crx questions.. no spark :(
 

Stick to carburetted trucks.

We need pics.


If there's a problem with the tune, or the sensors causing the tune to go super rich, then plugs can foul out real quick. Sometimes you can clean them, sometimes they are dead and need throwing away.

buk, it sounds like you most likely have a ground problem. Remove, clean, tighten the thermostat housing ground. Replace the engine to chassis/battery grounds, or on the cheap tip run some jumper cables as grounds to and from engine/chassis/battery. After that I would expect coil or ignitor failure... and those parts do go bad on the shelf after they are years and years old, especially if that used distributor you tested with has been sitting out in the weather. Lastly - this is a PITA - I've had problems with old dry rotted engine harnesses in those era cars... start by scraping any corrosion on the pins of the engine harness to main harness connectors, you might need to cut the harness open and replace a lot of ---- or find a fresh harness to start over with. I know when i ran around with my hood off for a while it took about a month for my CRX to intermittantly not start. Sucks.

Anyway, props for actually working on your CRX. It takes time to really learn, and you've been putting the effort in. Make yourself a switch between battery power and the blade terminal to the starter so you can crank the engine from the engine bay/without a second person and it'll go a lot faster.

PS - this doesn't mean I want any goddamn PMs from you. Unless they contain pics of your sister, and nothing else.

Re: quick crx questions.. no spark :(
 

fixed the problem ;D

the wierd thing is it was already on tight as a mother fucker and took a breaker bar to take it off ??? ??? used a wire brush to clean that contact points tightend it up and it worked fine ^-^

thanks ;D

now my fan problem


see the female connector suspended therE? its wire is red with black dots??? idk...

shot from the other side... incase u need to point out something to me...
http://www.t-mobilepictures.com/phot...4rpskpon3w2o32

BOOSH!!!
http://www.t-mobilepictures.com/phot...ywijd0zqfuklmr

temp sensor working fine.. i thought i had the 2 wires reversed.. if i do have them revered then the temp guage wouldnt work.. right???
http://www.t-mobilepictures.com/phot...ecxyj1e64ivrgw

now as far as the fan thing goes.. i removed my ac condensor.. and pretty sure that wire was connected to it.. so maybe it completed the circuit?? and i cut the circuit when i removed the condensor? so all i gotta do is splice that wire into something???? but into what ???

Re: quick crx questions.. no spark :(
 

you nogfuck, i told you. and if you needed a breaker bar you are one week ass fucker. the threads that the 10mm nut goes onto cannot take 150lbs of torque to get off. haha

Re: quick crx questions.. no spark :(
 

im not weak im just tired from playing unreal tournament all night.. and in my defense i was using a small ass ratchet :P

ummm i did take your advice and checked all the grounds but i never thought a tight as ---- tstat ground would be bad..

oh well lesson learned.. ---- ---- ton of lessons learned..

like i told someone the other day.. pretty sure if i had to do it again i could swap an engine in under a week 8)

haha

Re: quick crx questions.. no spark :(
 

just because its tight doesnt mean its grounded. corrosion and rust will cause excess resistance between your wire and the t stat. that will stop a complete circuit between b+ and ground. causes you to have no spark.
