Hey everyone,
I have a 1991 CRX HF that is currently in a crank, no start condition. I have some disposable income and wanted to fix it myself so I have more or less been throwing parts at it. So far, I have changed spark plugs and wires, checked fuses, and also replaced the cap and rotor with new ones. There was no change, from there I did switch the main fuel relay for another I had and again, no change. After doing that work I had to go out of town for a couple weeks when I came back I tried to start the car and it fired right up. There were no issues for a couple days so I drove it a few times and eventually as I was driving home going around 30 mph I watched my RPMs start falling while I was stepping on the gas, there was zero throttle response and the car slowed down until it stalled and has not started since. I know all components for spark are how they should be and when testing for fuel after the firewall fuel filter I was reading 10 PSI, this led me to believe it could be the fuel pump and being that it was the original pump I decided to change it. I successfully changed the pump and there is still no change. I can hear the pump priming and I switched my MFR and ruled out one as not priming the pump. I am now completely stumped as this is my first car and I don’t have the most knowledge with cars, if anyone has some ideas of what could be causing this please let me know!!
TLDR: 1991 Honda CRX cranks, no start. Spark has been checked and MFR was changed. Fuel pressure is reading 10 PSI at firewall fuel filter, all work done showed no change
shooting the parts cannon at a car isn’t exactly cheaper than having someone diag the issue and solve it once and for all. 10psi is way too low, you should be seeing around 40. what kind of pump did you get? i understand parts might be hard to find for that car but there are still better pumps than others. how are your grounds at the pump?
How did you check spark? Crank no start on these is usually the ignition coil. Often enough I kept one in my box so I could try it before I would even bother pushing it in. It’s inside the distributor cap
