93 coupe doesnt want to run

[whtcivic93]

Okay, heres my problem... I get into my car and start it up, everythings fine. about a haf second after i start the car it starts making a weird sound almost like its bogging down, the RPMs drop all the way out and the engine is off. I give it another try and get nothing like the engine doesnt want to turn over. Then for some reason i feel like push starting it, but cant get it onto the driveway from the grass... i get in and turn the key and all is fine.. or so i thought. The same thing happend as the first time. Anybody know anything about it, or had similar problems with their cars? btw if it matters its a D16z6. Thanks in advance

dirty injectors... check your spark plugs....

 

[whtcivic93]

actually now that you say injectors... it has been boggin down when i change gears sometimes... should i go with the fuel injector cleaner or just replace the injectors? also how difficult is it to replace injectors if needed?

 

[Inigo Montoya]

pretty easy... its a matter of unpluggin the harness, unscrewing a couple bolts, taking off the fuel rail, and unpluggin the injectors.

im pretty sure you need to purge the gas line somehow.. i cant remember if theres a method or if you just set up a catch-can and be quick like a ninja.

i have some 240cc (stock) injectors for sale if needed

hmm i do simple things like install an intake, put rims on myself, change the oil bla bla bla... but im not too sure about changing injectors

 

[deftones0817]

did you fuel pump start to take a crap or fuel main relay?

hey deftones did you ever hang around dover? i lived in dover for a few years.. just moved to SC about 8/9 months ago

on a difficulty scale, 1-10...

id put oil filter at a 2 (space constraints)
and injector install at a 3 (space constraints and more stuff to remove)

oh, good stuff.. ill definately give a shot then. Its weird though my car gave me no problems today, it cranked right up and drove fine all day

i'd say maybe a dirty fuel filter. But injectors are insanely easy, its three nuts, one big nut-cap on the fuel line and four clips on the injectors, any uneducated fool could do it. Just gotta remember where you took the stuff from and put it back.

 

[whtcivic93]

the only thing holdin me back is the word FUEL... i was reading the haynes manual and it says i just need to releive any fuel pressure in the system before i do it... would i have to worry about clamping anything off so fuel doesnt leak, or is that only going to happen if i dont let the pressure out of the system before i start?

 

[whtcivic93]

well after discovering its wasnt my fuel injectors, and thats its the main fuel relay... i have some questions. anyone replace theirs before and where is it.. i think i found it but im not sure ill post pics of what i think is it, i know its under the dash right next to the fuse box but once i get there im kinda lost. oh yeah anybody know of a price on one of these suckers?

have you had your car checked out.. I had the same thing happen to me and it ended up being the Ignition Coil cost me about 211 bucks to fix check that out when you get a chance.. you could try by having one of your buddies try to start your car and check with your spark plug wires spark up.. if they don't then just get a new Ignition Coil at like auto zone or something very easy to install will cost only 85 bucks compaired to my rip off $55 computer hook up $127 for Ignition Coil and $30 labor.. try that and let me know how it go's

 

[whtcivic93]

yeah i had the coil replaced about 9-10 months ago... im positive that its the fuel relay
