Re: civic wont start and stay on
i also tried a new ignition harness today.....i found out where the clutch ignition switch is, its all wet around that area....if the switch was bad though i think it wouldnt even try to crank...is there anything next to it that could have gotten wet and caused this problem???

Re: civic wont start and stay on
ok so i dont hear the fuel pump prime the first 2 or w.e seconds you put car in run position. it has pressure in fuel filter for a second though when car is started, and will stay on if my foot is on the clutch and key is completely turned...

Re: civic wont start and stay on
it honestly sounds like a bad main relay to me or a bad ignition switch. if the ignition switch is bad then the white part that you can "stick a screwdriver" into is bad since that for the most part IS the ignition switch. the part the key goes into is just the tumbler and really has nothing to do with the switch.
this went bad on my last civic and my 96 prelude, u can go to pick and pull and its a 10 dollar fix.

and if you have a stock fuel pump with full interior its a little harder to hear the pump prime from inside the car. to check mine i just took the bolt off of the top of the fuel filter and if it shoots gas then its fine but if it just leaks out then the pump is bad. im sure theres a safer way to do this but this is just how i did it.

Re: civic wont start and stay on
it also sounds like the main relay to me also, it could be getting hot and shutting it down. everyone knows that Honda had a issue with cold solder joints on their main relays, hope this helps you
