My 98 civic ex started shutting off while driving after I replaced my old engine with another engine with 86,000 miles. It runs good but It shuts off between 10 and 20 minutes of driving, almost all the time now. No codes, no click, no fuel pump prime noise, and engine light turns on, after a while car turns on fine with no problem and no engine light and it has the click and fuel pump prime noise. Or it will not start back up after turned off for a minute. Im thinking main relay but what you think?
Please someone reply to me I replaced fuel pump/ fuel filter and my car still having a hard time starting up and sometimes won’t even start on the first click but I hear my fuel pump cutting on so what could it possible be I have a 2000 Honda Civic EX Coupe someone please help!
Everything else works fine whenever I drive it it drives way better now no hesitations on accelerating a little bit but not as much as it did when I had a bad fuel pump now I’m stuck on what do I do next
Hey just a tip, when taking off a cylinder head you go from the outside head bolts to the inside. Weather circular or diagonal but start with the outer head bolts and work your way to the center
@@shadowBeatz18 On mine it wasn't a fuse. Was the igniter. Car would crank but wouldn't start. I could hear the pump priming when I turn the switch/key. So was getting fuel and I could hear the fuse inside the dash behind the glove box clicking. So was working. Took it out anyways to check it out and had no broken solders. Checked the spark by using a screw driver inserting it inside the plug wire and holding close to motor ground see if sparked. Had no spark. Took of the rotor cap and then checked the coil and igniter with a test light while someone is cranking the car. Switched it out and lots of cranking later the car fired up 😁
Saw a diff video, basically said there’s a port that’s covered on the block for nonvtec models, if you’re going to put on a vtec head just have to remove that little port on the block for oil passage, is that true
Video was very very helpful tbh, and now do I also have to swap over the oil filter housing and that oil pressure switch on the block? I have a bad D16Z6 block, good head and have a spare D16ZC non vtec SOHC good block and head. I’m going to put the Z6 head on the ZC block. But haven’t paid attention if there’s a plug or something where the oil pressure switch is because I know the oil filter housing is diff on the Z6
Nope all that will work your good just make sure your poor oil all over the cylinder head before start up so the head doesn’t run dry Also disconnect distributor and all the injectors and crank the car over so you can get all the oil up to the cylinder head and in the engine flowing be sure to make sure that pressure switch work
