| On my 1988 honda civic, i found out through the internet ,that there were recalls for the efi control unit, a recall for the seatbelts, and a recall for the ignitor, and for some reason i never received those recalls. i been driving the car with the bad efi, and the idle just jumps up and down, and now my ignitor is gone bad and the car won't start. i almost got hit from the back because the ignitor failed while i was on the right lane in the highway. the car shutters and stalls...the efi unit just suddenly speeds up the car, since the idle jumps up..i spent so much money changing the good parts. i would like honda to replace the ignitor and the efi unit free of charge, now that i know those 2 parts are the problems all these years.. please chk this site also: http://earthrenewal.org/are_honda_automobiles_safe_and_r.htm ..please write back asap..thank you.. | |||

| Car stalled in traffic. all the electrical power was lost. the car would not start. the car only starts when jumped. this happened before the battery, alternator and starter were replaced. it was ok for a while, then it happen again. i have talked with four owners of 1988 - 1991 honda civic's and all have had similar problems with their ignition system. one of the persons work with my wife. he told us that the problem is in the ignition switch harness. he tried to fix his car with the same repairs that we did, but the problem was not resolved until he changed the ignition harness. we are in the process of changing the harness as of 7/13/2006. i talk with honda motors corp and there was no recall for this model. one for the 1997 - 1999 civic. recall number 02031 dated 2002. any help you be able to give me would be appreciated. thank you! *jb | |||
