626.

Sorry, 91792

It's about 100 miles, but I would waste the gas either way so I'll probably be there in my '85

Exciting news just found out I do indeed have the 10th off of work so I definitely will be going!

And I'll be at the Mobil station too.

I've repaired a few pannels cracked in and and missing pieces.






I was able to hold it horizontally by the short piece, solid.











And I never finished it because I found a good one at the junkyard. But in will have to do my fenders/nose panel soon.

Is your idle jumpy or high?
I just put piece of plastic in mine for now until I can get around to finding a replacement or fixing it. Idle is solid.

I have had issues with stalling and not being able to start again on more than a few occasions.

 

Start with the basics just check to see if there is spark and fuel it has to be one or the other

 

For me it was the PGMFI ground at the thermostat.

 

And on a different a different occasion the clip that locks the connector for the injector resistors was broken so that came loose.

I addressed that with a ziptie which was not the best idea as about a year later it messed up the wires.

You can check to see if the injectors are actually firing by putting a screwdriver on in and when it cranking see if you hear a click.

Injectors could also be clogged.

And I think that your steering wheel is just coming apart somehow.

I 'd definitely be interested!

Yes, I would like to know what this is aswell.

 

At speeds 65+ it starts to read high. It does not fluctuate though.

 

I want to go back for the Koni coilovers, adjustable panhard bar and the headers

Too bad I missed the half off days

Hey Andrew what junkyard is that?

It's the Ontario Pick a Part.

My problem is actually my injectors aren't firing. Dead ecu? Would explain the ecu fuse that went.

Got it! The connector for the resistors for the injectors doesn't lock anymore so it just came loose.

I was told this could be the ignition switch.
Is that possible if I am getting both spark and fuel when cranking?

Main relay intermittent failure.

My relay is jumped.

Bad contact at the jumper?

I haven't checked yet, but the pump is coming on.

Sunday my 85 Si died at a red. That ended up being the 15 amp ecu fuse. I don't know why it blew. But I popped in another and we were good.

Up until yesterday we were good all day until right after I gased up (I don't think it's related) A few miles later the car died while driving but I was able to start it back up again. A few minutes later she died again and I pulled to the side of the road. She would crank but no start. I let it sit for a while then she started right up. And the same thing happened once more before I got her home. And this morning everything was good until after a few short trips. And now she won't start at all.

I was thinking ignition control module but I just checked with an old plug and there was spark. Pump is working. Fuse is still good. On Monday fuel pressure was at 41 psi I don't know if anything has changed since then.
Tomorrow I will check everything over. But any ideas on where to start?

My B16 EF had terrible main relay issues which were almost exactly like you are describing.  They're known to go bad in older hondas and just to be intermittent.  I ended up keeping a spare on me at all times.

My relay is bad. But it's jumped so I don't think it would be a problem?

The pedal goes to the floor with little resistance. I've bled them countless times (FL,RR,FR,RL)

Everything I've done has had little or no difference

 

No leaks.

Fresh pads and rotors

Adjusted the drums.

I saw that the hoses would expand a bit and they were starting to crack so I replaced them.

So from there I just assumed the master was bad so I replaced that (bled it off the car and some more on the car before I connected the lines back. Little or no change so the master was probably fine.

I am confident that there is no air in the system.

 

So I searched the forums and saw that it could be the booster. But I always thought a bad booster meant a hard pedal?

Is there anything I can do to confirm this? I want to be sure before I buy a new booster.

 

 

 

 

And unrelated, I need a Sanden bracket and hoses, if anyone can help out.

Update: I noticed there was a bit of moisture in the brake cylinders so I replaced them. Didn't work. It's still leaking in air. It was probably happening before , but I would close the line before bubbles would come back.

So either I got  pair of bad cylinders or it's leaking in air from somewhere else?

Excuse the awful grinding noise, I need a new fan.

It's getting that time of year again. 90 was the high today in SoCal.

 

So I need to get my A/C working, and on r134.

I did this with my '84 before so I pretty much know what to do. (Worked well until one day the high pressure side exploded at the viewglass)

Had the day off so I started to take apart the A/C system so it'll be ready once I get all the stuff I need.

 

 

-Orings

-Dryer

-Expansion Valve

-Adapters

-Ester oil w/ dye

-I'll probably have the hoses rebuilt aswell.

-The belt pulley needs a new bearing

-Take to local ac shop for vaccum/fill

 

Okay well my problem is that I have the Keihin this time and I have not heard any good from it, especially with r134.

 

So is the Keihin out of the question here?

Anyone had any luck using this compressor?

 

I guess I'll take a trip to the junkyard and pick up a Sanden bracket and hoses. That's everything I need right?

And I've some fairly inexpensive reman Sandens on ebay...

 

 

 

 

 

Where and how are you grounding it?

What do mean. The ground at the thermostat housing?

85 Si and it died at a stop light. Car was running perfectly before up until then.

I assumed it was was the fuel pump. I've been waiting for it to die on me (Airtex) I could still hear it I just thought it wasn't giving enough pressure.
Replaced it with another airtex only because it was in stock and I wanted it running asap while I then have time to order a quality pump.

Is it possible for a brand new pump be bad?
There is spark.
Relay is jumped so that's not an issue.
Ground at thermostat is fine.
