Labeledsk8r's 89 LX-i coupe update thread

[lostforawhile]

no ideas on fuse #4? or the power drain?? havent tried the radio yet im trying the #4 first

i've heard lots of people complaining about those seatbelt lockers draining the battery. is there some sort of g sensor that activates them? i am glad i have the old fashiond simple seatbelts.

Don"t all coupes have the grab ya seatbelts? do they wrap around you with the key off? I would say a sensor in the seat, years of a lot of humidity would kill the reliablity of those I would think.
Sounds like the coil is going out too, you may want to check to see if the coil primary is geting juice with the key off, not supposed to.

naa these dont have the moveing seat belt track. just has lock up motors in the door panel.

i actully checked the coil last night everything checked out except the primary resitence between terminal A and D, sadly i think it mihgt be the ignitor

I have an ignitor sitting here. Tested good last time I tested it.

The starting problem is the main relay, they both went out on my civic and lude. My car had been doing this for a while, so I asked my local honda mechanic and showed me how to replace it.

Also it should be located under the drivers side dash

[AccordB20A]

Cool. Not bad OEM wheels

[84Accord]

BUMP!




oh and im liking the rims!

[nomocars23]

are you thinking about lowering your car???

[Vanilla Sky]

I'd say it were the rears that were on backwards. To me, sawblade wheels look better running "backwards"

[SZfiftyfour]

^ agreed. lookin good Sk8r.

yeah at some point... its kinda far down on my to do list.. im trying to get it back to full runing order

^ agreed. lookin good Sk8r.

i just bought a new tire for one of the rims the sidewall was spliting away from the tread really bad

[Vanilla Sky]

i have a few actully, but havent been able to actully take the time to check out how good the spots are, even a basic parking lot shoot or the parking garge in down town would be better then what pics i have lol.. i need to dust off my digi cam aswell

[labeledsk8r]

well i was bored on my lunch break yesterday so i snaped a few pics on my cell lol they suck but ohs well








on a side note, on the starting problem.. if it is the main relay would the check engine light stay on but throw no code on the ecu?? if so does anyone have a spair working one they would like to sell

[Civic Accord Honda]

no scrap yard out here and none will come pick up a car this old called them allready lol so its ether try sell it whole as is or part it lol and now it dont have a EGR so selling it whole might be a pia and sorry sk8r for going off topic

[labeledsk8r]

well i went to the junk yard to get a main relay to throw in the car to get it to start on hot days... well my normal yard has NO 3geez... this is very odd to me there normaly atleast 7 3geez sitting in there... now im kinda screwd i have to get a new one in there before the weekend

[SZfiftyfour]

yea i seen a couple weeks ago they got rid of them. I was like not a single one there. But that prelude is still there, you should check it for one.
