it sounds like it could be starving for fuel.....cheers

There are two possibilities, either there is a short in wires or the faulty ecu. ------------- To confirm the short problem or fault in ecu.Click this link below and go through troubleshooting procedure:--- http://technoanswers.blogspot.com/2011/06/honda-crx-blows-ecu-fuse-when-main.html --------------- This should help.Thanks.Helpmech.

if the symptoms are, it starts fine in the morning, but then after driving, if you try to start it, it doesn't go and your d4 starts blinking, then its your main relay. if you have a soldering iron, you can resolder the solder joints on the relay and not have to waste virtually any money. if you dont, then they sell them at autozone for around 50 dollars. its under the dash board, behind the cruise control box, so its a bit tricky to find. best way to describe the location is the left of of the steering wheel, or closer to the driver door, all the way at the top. if looking from under the steering wheel, it would be on your right hand side.

heres the link on how to resolder your main relay:

First thing.Are you inserting correct amp fuse in the fuse box.If the fuse amp is not correct, then it will blow again n again.Other thing.what is the fuse number under hood.Is it fuse number 14 or fuse number 34 under hood or any other fuse under hood.--------- And check engine light is ON.This is one good thing.If check engine light is ON.That means there is error code stored in the cars computer.Did you got the car scanned by obdI tool.To retrieve codes.The car brand models before 1995 are checked only by obdI tool.Some local car mechanics have this tool with them.Local car garages or auto stores provide this tool on rent too for testing codes.Most probably you should get codes.Once you get codes, as per codes, you will get what part is faulty and causing the problem.But if in case, you dont get error codes in scanning, then in that case, this fuse blowing can be related to short in wirings or fuel pump is faulty.The relay is clicking, but may be its getting short, so it blows the fuse and turn the fuel pump off.So check for 12 volts to the fuel pump relay and also inspect relay condition.Alsop try swapping other relay beside from the fuse box under hood.------------- This should help.thanks.Helpmech.

The engine serial number is stamped into the clutch casing on all vehicles. For models produced from 1987-91, the first five numbers provide engine model identification. The remaining numbers refer to production sequence. This same number may also be stamped into an identification plate mounted on the radiator support.The 88 CRX came with a 1.5 liter SOHC engine or a 1.6 liter pushrod engine--both fuel injected. There is a pretty good list of Honda engines at this post: http://www.superhonda.com/forum/f55/biggest-guide-honda-engine-codes-usdm-jdm-edm-63513/index3.html. You can usually get a pretty good rundown in Wikipedia. Please let me know if you have more questions.

sorry no - crux hood & fender combo are shorter than your civic & I believe the bumper on crux is narrower. It would take ALOT of welding and fabrication to make it work.

White smoke blowing out exhaust is classic sign that coolant is getting into the cylinders, meaning
a blown head gasket. You can still use your car for awhile, but your need to schedule it ASAP
for a new head gasket.
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: moderate - you'll need at least a Haynes manual ($20 at Pep Boys) for
your Honda car or truck, and while its a big project, your vehicle really needs it.
Until you replace the head gasket, your vehicle will need constant coolant (50/50 mixture)
added, and will perform like a dog - meaning it'll waste alot of fuel getting around - why? coolant
doesn't burn and cools down (and reduces the power of) the explosion in each of the
cylinders that're being polluted with coolant. The more cylinders affected, the worse your
vehicle will perform.

HONDA AND ACURA HAD ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH FROM 94-99. THIS WAS ALSO A RECALL. YOU CAN HAVE THE DEALER RUN YOUR VIN # TO SEE IS THIS HAS BEEN UPDATED. IF IT WAS NOT UPDATED YOU MAY STILL HAVE WARRANTY COVERAGE.

No you don't have to replace the ignition switch unless it has been causing some sort of issue. Good luck and happy motoring.

i would try it. you have nothing to lose. you are probably really good at taking it apart by now anyway. good luck...matt

Hi,

Even if your going to fill it with a gallon of brake fluid, it will surely darin for a couple of minutes.

Plese check where could be the brake fluid leaks out. You could check first on all the wheels if the inner side is wet with the fluid, that means one of those wet tyre's brake caliper/cylinder is busted.

Check also the brake hoses and metal tubings, that has a fluid leak.

Check the brake master, underneath the brake master might have a fluid leakage.


As soon you found out where the leakage is, tow or bring your car to the nearest garage and have them fix it.


Hope that helps you out!



thanks for using Fixya!
