Check the fuel injectors with a test light. |

In fact, cracked solder to the injector feed is one of the failure modes of the Main Relay, but...it will set a Check Engine light with a Code 16. If no Code 16, then the ECU is seeing voltage when it tries to ground the injectors. http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/mainr...mainrelay.html To the OP: Is your Check Engine light on? Are error codes stored in the ECU? How to check: http://www.iequus.com/assets/manuals..._E_14JAN03.pdf Excerpt from above link: "Access ECU (located under front driver’s seat) (H4) by moving seat all the way back. Turn ignition on and observe LED on ECU for codes. Codes blinked out by LED are separated by two second pause, then repeated. For example: 2 blinks - two second pause - 2 blinks = code 2 (H14)" -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

I don’t know why I didn't think of it before but I only checked two plugs.
Then I thought if the timing belt snapped the intake valves could be in the closed position. Sure enough the timing belt is toast. Thanks for responding. DZ |

My first '87 had 160,000km (100,000mi.) when I got it in '94 and 478,000km (just shy of 300,000mi.) when I wrote it off in '03. These are great cars! --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

I just got rid of my 90 Legend at <sigh>only</sigh> 160K miles for like US$900. It was in rather poor condition...I didn't take good care of it. I suppose that car (Japan-built, awesome engine) in your hand would last 500K miles. |
