    Help me po naman, ung ESI 95 A/t ko po, minsan pag on the road ako, namamatay yung makina, nagiilaw ung current at ung water signal, pero pag check ko sa water level ok naman, tapos meron namang kuryente..malakas naman ang battery. Tapos, pag start ko ulit, ayaw na pumasok ung redondo ko..minsan tuloy pinapahatak ko na lang para makuha ung auto para ipagawa sa autoshop. Ilang autoshop na pinagawan ko nito, minsan naaayos pero in a week or months ganun pa rin, same problem,pero parang hindi naman nila nakukuha ung sakit ng auto e..help me po naman kung may same problem na naencounter kayo with the same unit i have. thank you.

    Hmmm...current & water signal? May ganun bang indicator sa dashboard ng 95 Civic? Don't you mean yung check engine light (CEL) and battery light?

    Anyway, my guess is that the culprit is the main relay. Normally, on Hondas its located under the dash, below the steering column. Yan kasi ang problema ng 97 Accord ko ngayon. Pag mainit yung panahon or yung makina, kahit while on the road, bigla na lang umiilaw yung CEL tapos mamamatay yung makina.

    Galactus, thanks for correcting me..i'll try na mapacheck ko sa knila ung main relay..i just want to add..kahit hindi naman mainit ung sasakyan kahit magdamag naka park lang ung auto...same din, may mga times na ayaw talgang pumasok ung redondo nya..may kuryente naman, ok ang battery. Ang iniiwasan ko lang talagang mangyari is habang umaandar ako ay bigla akong namamatayan in which delikado e kasi baka mabangga ako sa likod..anyway, i'll try pa rin to follow the instructions you gave me para ipacheck..thank you.

    Then malamang main relay nga. Usually, may micro-crack na yung solder kaya hindi na maganda yung flow ng current.

    Pero in my case, may redondo naman pero hindi tumutuloy. I usually wait about 15 mins., tapos mag-start na siya. Pag may free time na ako, paayos ko na rin sa akin. Coding car ko lang naman kasi yung Accord.

    Alam ko, Honda main relays are manufactured by Mitsuba. For the 97 Accord, 1.7k ang price, so dapat mas mura ang for Civic. Kung marunong mag-solder yung mekaniko, pa-solder mo na lang. It might not last long though, so I suggest buying a brand new relay.

    sir galactus,

    i have the same problem with my 94 esi. did the main terminal solve your problem? yung honda ko di pa naman namamatay while on the road. and hirap lang talaga mag start.

    i had it tuned up, checked distributtor, changed the ect, diagnosed the ecu; pero ganun pa din.

    il have the main terminal checked within the week, sana sir eto na ang solusyon sa problema ko.

    hope that you give some inputs also.

    thanks

    Actually, in my case, ignition coil pala ang problema, HINDI ang main relay. So, napagastos lang ako at napunta sa wala, hehehe.

    Madami kasi causes ang hard starting, e.g. fuel pump, sparkplugs, starter, starter solenoid, etc. Yung main relay, usually pumapalya yan pag mainit ang panahon (nakabilad yung kotse sa araw) or if you try to restart the car after a long drive (kunyari pumunta sa 7-11 to buy something, tapos pagbalik mo sa kotse, ayaw ng mag-start).

    Wait ka pa ng ibang feedbacks, and it would be better siguro if you could post in detail yung symptoms at kung ano na ang nagawa mo, para ma-diagnose ng mabuti nung ibang posters.

    Main relay for a 1997 Honda Accord. It's located under the steering wheel, medyo mahirap nga lang sungkitin, according to my mechanic.
