Life saver! Was experiencing this in my 1990 civic rt4wd wagon. Used your method to test my main relay and worked my way towards my icm after checking cap/rotor . Replaced the icm and it’s running like new with no problems starting. Thank you !

@bundysgarage 2 года назад

Glad it helped you out and your back on the road!!!

@osmitzzamora6216 4 месяца назад

Hey just wanna ask did your fuel pump Prime when your icm is not working?

@roadworthy6901 8 лет назад

Concise and to the point, great instructions, very important not to forget the thermal compound "grease" that's what usually fades with time and fries these ICM's. Also this applies to every honda/acura with distributors. A final note is if you plan on keeping the car for a while, or if you're modified for performance you should really lool into a coil on plug setup, Hondata makes a great kit.

@flywesleybyrd 6 лет назад

Thanks for the video! My 1990 Honda Civic Wagon was dying randomly, I got a code 15 using the paperclip & replaced the ICM after watching your video, seems to have taken care of the problem. I'll check out more of your videos should anything go wrong, keep up your great work!

@lecterrojasvargas7282 5 лет назад

@MyNameIsJustinKeenan 6 лет назад

Thanks for the video, had 2 issues pop up on our 1993 Accord last week, we ran the car down to nearly E and then it began to run rough, car died and then had intermittent stalling/RPM dropping down to 0 while running/loss of power. Changed the fuel pump, strainer, and filter, still left with intermittent problems, however when it is running it runs perfectly normal. Nice to see your video detailing the issues you experienced with yours, I'm pretty confident it's the ICM that's gone bad on our car.

@bundysgarage 6 лет назад

Please let us know if it fixes the issue.

Thanks for the video, we also had a intermittent ICM on a 2000 honda 1.6l, , had to disconnect the negative terminal to restart it until we replaced the ICM. Cheers mate Alan North Vancouver, BC, Canada

my 96 honda was doing same thing i looked all over with diffrent opinions of what yo do . if you wiggle your keys in on position and lights on dash dont do anything-meaning lights coming on and off-then its your icm trust me .i had a bad ignition module to but had already replaced it 2 months earlier.this was the best video out there that showed exactly what my car was doing and i fixed it with a 50 dollar part from auotzone(lifetime warranty).this video saved my car from being sold just cause nobody could figure what was wrong since the broblem was spuratic. so thank you.i fck love u man

Its hard to catch it when it is having the issue but it seems like it is getting worse. So I am going to change this out and see if that resolves the issue thanks for the clear and easy video to follow. :)

@bundysgarage 10 лет назад

Thanks for watching. It's a strange problem and hard to pinpoint down at first. Let me know what happens. Bundy

@stephenkirkman4009 Год назад

Good video. I would not use heatsink compound it is useless and will fail. If all surfaces are smooth and clean it will never get any hotter than it already will . If you feel you must use on both surfaces not just the attaching heatsink otherwise why is other surface any better? You can also buy conductive and non conductive compound that will set and never dry out kind of like silastic

@heffedirte6243 3 года назад

Vapor is flamable, not liquid....and just turning the key will work...and the check engine light lighting, or relay clicking, or fuel pump humming will tell you if the relay is working

@helawilliam Год назад

One other thing. One indicator of a failing ICM that sometimes shows up is a bouncing tach.

I'm thinking about also replacing the ICM before I get stuck on the road again. In your experience, about how many miles can you get on the original ICM before it needs to be replaced?

@MigsJ19 8 лет назад

I've got a Jdm b20b in a 90 Acura integra(obd0). I replaced my distributor because it kept shocking me and the car wouldnt start at all, just crank. And i finally got it to start for a little bit but it's just like your car in the beginning. Idled a bit rough then died. Then I noticed I started to get a code 15 and the weirdest part is when the car does start it dies when I let go of the clutch(along with it randomly dieing. So I have a fuel pressure gauge and I was getting about 35 to 40 psi, I checked each coil and was getting spark to all of them. Idk what's wrong, I've been thinking about replacing the main relay and maybe replacing my injectors. Have any ideas?

@--OpT.OuT-- Год назад

For anyone who doesn't want bent valves, do not listen to what he says about the ignition these are the OBD0. The only ones you can get 180 out on the rotor

@godfirst6880 2 года назад

Thank you brother! I was wondering if I should put thermal gel on it on not. Now I know! I got a 98 CRV with close to 200k. Funny thing is, I had a 92 Civic with close to 190k, that had the same issue(no start, only crank), and it was the icm..just like the CRV. I guess they go out around 190k-200k.

@sendycipta94 Год назад

ya, i have the same issue,, 190k, trying figure out, i guess the icm problem. now replacing with new one, but not original icm. i will let u know the result soon.. 😊

@sendycipta94 Год назад

6 days after replacing the icm, the problem still... and then, i try replace main relay for fuel pump but the problem still.. next i will check the fuel pump, fuel filter and cleaning the iacv.. its long journey to figure out what is the real problem. thats life,, sometimes its not easy, but u will get an experience n value in every process..

@alexs.5675 7 лет назад

@jessesgarage848 8 лет назад

Hi I have a 1991 civic si was stalking on me but would turn right back on I read the computer and gave out a code 15. Ended up buying a aftermarket distributor instead of changing the icm worked fine for 2 days without turning off (previously with the old distributor would turn off everyday) then with the new dizzy it turned off and now doesn't want to start back up. No codes were given since the check engine light didn't pop up when the car died at about 40 mph. Any suggestions ? Maybe it's a cheap dizzy? Bought from eBay. I have already changed the main relay and ignition switch

@bundysgarage 8 лет назад

Aftermarket dizzys have been known to be faulty right out of the box. I would buy one from Honda or try and find a used Honda one from a junkyard.

@boycbronco 9 лет назад

Okay so I figured out why the code 15 returned and I cured that. However now the car is running pretty good but occasionally has trouble starting and then throws a code 4 which is a crank angle position sensor code.I can clear the code and then I seem to be good to go again. Any idea how to fix that?

@squidben5780 5 лет назад

@TheDarkmentor1988 4 года назад

@the_original_Bilb_Ono 8 лет назад

my stock crx sohc d16zc has a faint seemingly random miss at idle speed. i cant figure out why. i just did a full tune up yesterday. including plugs, wires, Distributor and rotor. would my o2 sensor cause a miss? or i should say my lack of a o2 sensor. i just have s bolt in my headers temporarily until i pick up a new one. but when i had my original header with o2 sensor it still had that miss.

Hi, does anyone know the screws size for the ICM(both the ones on the terminals and the ones on the heatsink), thanks

@steve-otee8874 6 лет назад

Hopefully you've got the screws by now, but for anyone needing this info, here are the sizes for a 1991 Civic Hatch, Std/ Base model: 1. ICM mounting screws: M4-0.7x10mm (7mm hex-phillips head). 2. Heat Sink screws: M4-0.7x9mm (round head, slotted- phillips). 3. Coil mounting screws: m4-0.7x20mm (round head, phillips, SEMS). 4. Coil Wire screws: M4-0.7x6mm (round head, phillips, SEMS).

@squidben5780 5 лет назад

I have done this twice, no need to remove the whole unit, just remove the small icm inside with 4 wires is enough and less work, no marking less intrusive but overall good video

@ScottyTownsend91 5 лет назад

So are you saying that you don’t need to remove the entire distributor? If that’s soo I can save a lot of time with my 90 integra. I’m hoping that it’s just the icm. I don’t hear my fuel pump when Turning the key. But she cranks and don’t start

Hey bro just wanna ask question When your car wont start is the fuel pump primming or not?

@bundysgarage 4 месяца назад

It's not that easy. A gasoline engine needs 3 things to start. Fuel Compression Spark Missing 1 of these and the engine will not start. Just because your fuel pump is running and the engine is getting fuel does not mean the engine will start. You have to check the other 2 items as well.

Ive had nothing but bad luck w my 90 CRX. Cat clogged and cracked my head. The mobile mechanic got off w my distributor so i had to buy an aftermarket. I guess the chinese dont use heat sink compound because less than 100 miles and my module fried. When the mechanic replaced it he forgot to put the piece in the cap and later when i took the cap off to check timing my coil was melted. I had to replace cap and coil. Now less than 100 miles from coil and less than 500 on module i dont have spark. Its raining so i will have to cont on it later this week. Ugh. : (
