crx electrical problems
this morning went out and my crx had a bit of a powerloss, or it seemed it was running richer than normal. and later on in the day when the car got nice and warmed up it started bogging spiratically. and in the afternoon it finally died and wouldn't go any further.
as soon as you rev it in neutral the cel light blinks and the idle goes nuts and backfires and boggs and shakes. and when you put your hand on the main relay you can feel something inside and it makes a fast clicking noise.
tried replacing the main relay, that is not the problem.
what could be the cause of this?
the codes that im throwing right now (throwing 2 codes currently) have been there before so they do not aid in support for this issue.
what connections should i check first? where do i start etc?
the setup is this>
88 crx dx
1.6l zc motor
turbocharged running the safc hack w/ 450cc injectors

Re:crx electrical problems
you've done the dual point conversion, obviously.
crank it over again, check plugs, they might be soaked..
scale back your afc, throw the stock injectors in, see if it idles.
maybe injector failure.
check dizzy, may not be igniting the fuel, and then it floods out.

oh oh oh
check your timing. actual timing, cam and crank wise.
take the valve cover off and make sure that nothing is broken.
I remembered that I experienced this when I broke my exhaust cam, except I couldn't start it up at all after a while.
and it make clunking noises.

Re:crx electrical problems
it was found to be a ground connection
the car all of the sundden is fine and i have no problems.
it must have been a bad connection at the main harness that all of the sudden corrected itself.
can anyone tell me which ground would be the one to make sure has a good connection?
