Ek9 cutting out

ShaunEk9 · 01-11-2012, 05:59 PM

Hi people. Recently iv been trying to start my ek9 and it takes a little longer then it should to start, and once it does it sometimes cuts out. Done it a few times today. But it's ok if I turn it of and start it again

Anyone have any suggestions of what it could be?
Thanks

Will any civic main relay be the same?

Yeah, have a look at getting a cheap ignition switch aswell. I thought it was the relay on my car when it had the same symptoms and it turned out it was the ignition switch. Apparently it was common on uk civic's and most got a recall. Also aslong as there both for an ek there interchangeable. Hope this helps .....

make sure your fuel pump is not on its way out, sound like it could also be fuel pressue not up to scratch...
