I live in mason county I have a1987 crx rebuilt with a good engine and it won't run. My boyfriend has given up working on it. I need someone who is local to come and see if they can get it running. It's such a pretty car and it's just going to be junked. What a waste.

:welcome:

You can try posting in the regional section, as you probably won't find local help in this one.

Can you describe the issues that it's having? Check engine light on, etc? (did that even exist on an 87?)

Otherwise, I would recommend talking to local garages near you. Ask for free estimates, and go to more than one mechanic if you can.

Yes everything lights up. The wiring is good. Just won't turn over.

Just won't turn over.
Dash lights come on, but the motor doesn't even try to turn over?
Have you checked the starter?

What model Crx, Dx, HF or SI?
What engine was put back in it, the one that should be in there?

If you're actually considering simply scrapping a good car, you should instead sell it to someone who appreciates the 1st gens...

Now you say won't turn over but give very vague info, my first piece of advice is to recheck the wiring, especially the grounds. Even if you say it's good, have your boyfriend go out there and confirm it multiple times. Add a couple extra grounds maybe.

Im sure this ride could go for at least 2 grand if its the condition you say it is..

Theres a huge CRX community that are looking for clean ones.

If interested in selling, PM me and i can direct you to help you get some cash in your pocket.

If you werent at the oppsite side of the country, id pick it up myself.

Are you getting power to the starter? Any clicking or the sound of the starter trying to engage? Can the engine be cranked over by hand? Check these out first & LMK
