Sup /o/

My 94 Honda Prelude is being a cunt, and I don't know why. Basically, the car starts fine 90% of the time, and then sometimes it will just crank without actually starting.

Just earlier it started no worries, I took it up and down the street, parked, turned it off. Turned it on and off twice, no worries, then the third time, engine cranks with no hope of starting. Other times it doesn't even start the first time.

Doesn't seem affected by hot or cold, and the car runs perfect when it does start. Any ideas?

sounds like an intermittent electrical fault. Check the wiring to the starter.

My Corolla ran perfect until a nigger crashed into me.

>>14715044
But if the wiring to the starter was the issue, then the engine wouldn't crank at all?

not if it's an intermittent electrical short.

A game of chasing ghosts I guess.

I hate chasing down intermittent electrical gremlins.

You're getting power to the starter, but no power to ignite so something is wrong in between your ecu and the plugs . Maybe the distributor or spark plugs?
>>
>>14715301
Tickle my anus, I did pull a plug to test if it's not getting spark, but it started each time I tested it with a plug out, and has started each time since. Hard to diagnose a problem which doesn't exist most the time.

>>14715301
also perhaps its a weak fuel pump/fuel filter.

Try clicking the kiey to accessory, you will hear a buzz then a click, this is your fuel pump/. Listen close it's really quiet.

After it clicks do that a few times and the pump has turned on and gave some extra gas. This will help you figure out if its just cause no gas or if its more air/spark related.

>>14715937
I ruled out the fuel it's , because you can run the battery flat whilst mashing the accelerator, then just barely start it with a flat battery a while later. And when it does start, it's not starved of fuel at any point.
>>
>>14715937
Actually, maybe the fuel pump isn't receiving power sometimes due to a dodgy fuel pump relay?? I'll look soon!
