Hi guys,

Just got a question in regards to a 93 Honda Civic. I know it's not a nissan but I hope some of you could put some informative info. The car is my housemate's.

The engine died all of a sudden in the middle of the road.

We have tried:

Jump starting the car with jumper cables connected to my car. The battery's fully charged so I guess we can rule that out. When the keys are in the ignition, the radio and windows still work too.

The car grinds when you turn the key, but it just won't start. Shouldn't be the starter motor cause if it's stuffed, it should just have a click sound and shouldn't grind.

I'm wondering, could it be maybe the spark plugs or the coils? Maybe they are worn? Or maybe the plugs just got wet?

Some advice would be deeply appreciated.

Regards,

Bernard

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Had a chat to Tony Mamo - he advised that looking at the graph's shape (regardless of number translation) it shouldn't be levelling off like that up top. He said it looks like the car is running a restrictor plate or something of that nature. Luckily the last dyno pull on E85 was saved to the PC - So I did a quick trace of Barometric KPA vs Intake manifold pressure, and lo and behold I see a copy of the 'waves' I was seeing on the dyno: I'm not entirely sure how to go about addressing this. It may be worth sacrificing IAT to run a more direct intake for the motor. Though packaging this could be flat out impossible given the constraints of the car. I should have removed the intake pipe to see if this made a difference but looking at this graph I now have something to potentially test in the future and think about. This one is from an old track day log in the OLD setup going through gears on track.

      Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.
