Major Problems With 89 Honda Civic Hatchback
I just had a clutch put in my honda yesterday and the car drove fine for
about 45 minutes the the check engine light came on. Now when i release the clutch with it in gear the main relay cuts off. Then press the clutch back in it turns back on. Any suggestions as to what the problem is?????????? |

I found out what the problem is now its just figuring out how to fix it
without relacing everything. There is a problem with my fuel injector circuit. I wonder if it could be from where the mechanic didnt bolt some stuff back on, or if actually the injectors are bad. |

Opps, i forgot to mention that the codes that came up on my ECU where 16
and 20. 16 being Opened or shorted fuel injector curcuit, & 20 being Electrical Load Detector/Sensor. |

Well there inlays another problem. I just replaced the main relay a few
months back. Also i took the relay out of my rear defrost and put it for my main relay and the car still did the same thing. The relay works fine until i release the clutch with the car in gear. Then it clicks crazily and the car dies. |

The power source to the main relay probably cuts out and the engine stalls and release a code 16. The power source can cut out due to a bad igniting switch. To troubleshoot, notice how the instrument gauges go dark and confirm whether that terminal blk/yel on the main relay has power when the ignition is on during the symptom. |
