- Wed Sep 23, 2009 10:06 pm #146668 okay my 94 cx stopped starting the other day.
i thought its beacuse of a burnt out fuel pump from running dry
i can still here it prime and im pretty sure its getting a spark.
SOO i decided to bump start it down a hill and it ran fine?
the car turns over great so its not a starter or battery?
what else???
please help, it my daily

- Wed Sep 23, 2009 10:09 pm #146669 still did same thing after you bump started it.

- Wed Sep 23, 2009 10:29 pm #146680 check the conections on the starter
it sounds like to me, that it wont start but when u pop start it, it runs fine
so its has to be your starter

- Wed Sep 23, 2009 10:39 pm #146694 are you sure? because i can sit there and turn it over all day. no problem
ill check anyway tho
thanks

- Wed Sep 23, 2009 11:02 pm #146720 checked the starter, everything looked good

- Thu Sep 24, 2009 12:44 am #146777 nahhh cause when i didnt bump start it is was runnung great like normal.
all cylinders firing.

- Thu Sep 24, 2009 1:09 am #146779 I would check the main fuel relay as well, if its bad, you could do the re-solder trick. If that is good i would think your distributor components are starting to go. (ICM, coil pack)
