so i was running the car in my drive way and it was idling and it just stoped so i new it ran out of gas so it got 5 galleons and some fuel injection cleaner and started the car ran like sh*t wont idle and now wont start. fuel pump pumps gas very good cleaned the injectors but broke an oring so i have to get new ones before trying to start it.. just wondering what i should do next. i dont think the fuel pump is bad

 

When you crank it does the engine check light stay on? The other thing is you might of sucked crap into the pickup screen. Second running a car with an in tank electric fuel pump out of gas is like running an engine without coolant. Gas acts a a coolant to keep electric in tank pumps from overheating. So you could of damaged the pump. Most electric pump failures are due to running gas too low in your tank causing overheating & after a while of this they burn out.

 

yes the cel light is on but it was already on from the beginning. i wil update tomorrow

 

This is likely going to be completely unrelated to the alleged "running out of gas."

First get the ECU codes and if it's thrown one for one of the major sensors, that's probably why the car doesn't run. On the 1991's OBD0 system, codes are checked by watching the blinking LED on the ECU itself.

Check fuel flow by disconnecting the return hose (between the regulator and the metal line on the firewall) and direct it into a container. Turn key on but don't crank, there should be a good flow out of the regulator when the pump starts.

Real common reasons for suddenly stopping are skipped timing belt, loose distributor rotor, or blown coil. These can happen at any time, not only while driving hard.

 

i did the codes and got 10 flashes nonstop then like a 3 sec brake then 10 more flashes and it dose that all day so. maybe someone can tell me what that means. thanks for the help

 

Code 10 is IAT (Intake Air Temp) sensor.

 

were is that and how do i fix it. or do i buy a new one and will the make the idle go up and down if thats broken. thanks for all the help

 

Your idle going up and down may be related to a vacuum leak.
Not having the sensor working might make for a high idle. But it shoudln't make it raise and drop. I'm not 100% sure where the AIT sensor is. My favorite trick is to go to Autozone and use their haynes manuals. They usually don't mind.

 

it all done and fixed. fuel injector was bad its running. i have a Haynes Manuel i,ll take a look thanks for all the help

 

The fuel injectors are notorious for going bad on the EF model civics. I am throwing a code 16 for it right now. I just don't care. lol.
