2012 9th gen Honda Civic 1.8 "crank, no start!"
Discussion
Hiya peeps!
Not getting much help from stealer and local garages plus Honda forums have been thin on the ground for advice.
I have a late 2012 1.8 v-itec which was running fine, no misfiring or difficulty starting etc.. Took it for a quick run around the lanes after cleaning off the O2 sensors as I was getting an EML once up to temp? Pulled up outside my house and the engine died, no nasty noises prior to dying. Called AA as being "start/stop" I couldn't move the car on starter and family were away.
AA chap carried out a diagnostics and found no codes, he confirmed that the timing chain was OK and not slipped. He came to the conclusion that there was no fuel getting through.
I have needlessly replaced the pump and sender so it fuels OK with good pressure. Checked coil packs and plugs, they are healthy.
Two things I need to check and need help to find as they are not in the same location as 8th Gen. !) PGM-FI main relay 2) Inertia fuel cut off reset button.
I will test for injector pulse once I have worked out how to do it!
There is a bumpy bit at the beginning of my lane and the car did bottom out so I am wondering if I tripped the fuel cut off, though I would have thought that would also shut fuel pump off? The PGM-FI main relays seem to be a weak spot in previous gen Civic so I would like to test that.... if it has one or I can find it?
I would be very grateful for any help as the car is just being a paperweight at the moment.
