civic is pissing me off, electrical gremlin NSFW
« on: May 20, 2009, 01:44:00 AM »
i just got my first honda and everything is great but randomly the fucker cuts all electrical power for half a sec when i lightly touch the brake.
its a 94 5spd 4dr, new battery, check all the fuses.
it doesnt make sense, it doesnt die but the radio restarts, headlights flick, speedo drops but only for a fraction of a sec and then goes back to normal.
its only happened while moving and in gear.

I think all cop cars need to have turbo. nbspnbsp Then they would understand the necessity of putting your foot down and how uncontrollable the urge is to fucking rail on that shit.

Are the battery cables tight and secure?
Take them off the battery and clean them with a brush. Check your grounds points and also clean those.

I had something similar to this in my Civic a while ago. Every time I would put the pedal to the floor the car would start shutting down and coming on, lights flashing and flickering, etc.

I popped the hood, didn't find anything out of the ordinary, blipped the throttle, and seen sparks flying out from around the starter area. It ended up being a 10mm bolt was stuck between the starter and it was grounding out making the car turn on and off.

Your situation is a little different, but it sounds some-what related.

Don't know if this would do cause ur problem. But were is ur ground for ur amp going. Maybe its grounded to ur taillites like I've seen so many niggar carss done befor. If it is move the geround to a seat belt anchor cuz its in the frame of the car.

My accord does the same shit. It was the battery terminals. Even tho they where tight they needed to be sanded and cleaned up good.
