Hello ClucCivic, my name is Scott. I recently sold my da integra and purchased an ej8 with a b20 vtec swap. I put her up in my garage a week after I got it home to change out the clutch, along with a list of other things. The first week it ran good, after the new clutch I had to replace the main relay. With the new relay it fired up without hesitation. That day I let it idle to operating temperature before I drove it and all was well. About two miles from home the speedo and tach began bouncing. A few seconds later the cluster lights flashed, dimmed, and then the car died. The battery, relay, alternater, and fuses were che led and tested. After all that I get nothing from her. No cranking, nothing. Until she stopped all was working well. I would appreciate any help I can get so that I can drive her. I hope to make this forum my home as I did ClubIntegra. Thanks in advance.

How long does it take to drive from ClubIntegra to ClubCivic?

Do the hazard lights or horn work? Have you checked the battery ground wire attached to the chassis in the engine bay? Is it loose or corroded?

On any new vehicle always change plugs, wires, cap and rotor...

i had this problem with my b16. it is fuse 15... that kept blowing. maybe you havent got to that stage yet that i was at. my fuse would blow every single time the car was on...
i changed the alt out and and it never happened again. it was something in the alt that kept killing everything and blowing fuses.....

car would not jump, lights didnt work, no electricals. just the engine ran, then died out shortly after.

try that.


my problem sounds exactly like what you said

 

[mymmeryloss]

Do u get any lights at all?

If so, check ur starter. If not, check what ronj said...

Bad icm in your dizzy.

this would be my second guess. same situation but the car started again for me after i reset everything and it came out of slug mode..... dizzy changed and never did it again....

 

[RonJ]

A bad ICM or distributor would NOT cause the speedo to bounce or the cluster lights to dim or flash.

 

[RonJ]

IF the battery is fine, then a blown fuse 15 would not prevent the engine from cranking and starting.

 

[HONDAPROOF]

Hmmm... Ill peep out the dizzy.

Did you read the posts in your thread for comprehension?

Bad icm causes the rpm to bounce around . And of course a no start.
Was not referring to speedo bouncing.

um ok since ive been through this exact problem. fuse 15 keeps blowing due to the alternator. which lead to having to replace the fuse instantly all the time.
how can the car start if there is a blown fuse that keeps getting shot from the alt, which really powers and charges the car electricals.... hhhmmmmmm.

my case was so severe that everytime the car ran, fuse 15 would blow, and if it sat long enough, the battery would lose its charge not starting.


ive been there and done this with fuse 15. have you? if not, dont tell me im wrong. ive experience first hand this piece of s*** problem with fuse 15, the alt, and dizzy.

he may not have this exact situation, but i was offering my advice in what to look for and help to diagnos his problem.
