1994 Civic LX, 1.5 with ˜200k
Past month my friend has been having issues with starting the car when it is raining.
On rainy days the car would crank and turn but the car would not start.
We removed the main relay and resoldered and are waiting for a good rainy day to test.
Monday- Drizzled on and off and car started up fine (slight drizzle).
Tuesday- Trouble
Morning was cold (40's deg F), and car started up fine but later that day it got warmer (70's deg F) and car would not start.
Floored the accelerator pedal all the way down and turned the ignition to try to start the car.
It cranked for about 9 seconds and the car finally started.
Ran rough for a few seconds and then drove fine afterwards.
I'm looking at other possibilities that might be causing the issues-
Bad Wires
Bad Distributor
Bad main relay (soldered may not have done job properly)
Fuel Filter (friend says he doesn't remember ever replacing it)
Parts replaced: Cap and rotor about 1 month ago, prior to desoldering main relay. Did not solve issue
Any advice is greatly appreciated
