I'm confused

Post by runsonrice »

So my car has been acting up lately. The car will start first thing in the morning and i can drive it for as long as i please. If i choose to leave 1/2 hour or so after the first outing the car won't start. It just keeps turning. If i keep at it for 10 mins. or so i might get lucky and it will start. It's throwing a code 23, which is a defective ignitor/control module. So that's what i link the problem with, obviously. So i take the ignitor up to the Zone and have them test it. They say it's perfectly fine. Is it something that when it heats up it would become defective, and when it's cool it's fine? Could it be something else that sounds familiar to someone?

I had a similar issue with my '93 civic. It would start up fine but if it sat in the heat all day it would crank but wouldn't start. It turned out to be the fuel pump relay heating up to the point where the contacts inside couldn't physically make the connection. Try testing it to make sure it works.

well obviously you need to replace the ignition module if its throwing a code so why didnt you? you just going to deal with the check engine light being on?

replace it, see if it stops.. and if not then its your main relay. open it up and resolder.
