Re: 97 Civic no fire please help.

i have a 97 hx that just quit one day on the highway. i had it towed home and after many hours of searching found that on the pass. side fuse box under the hood there was a blown 40amp ignition fuse. it was a wierd looking fuse that has two copper tabs that screw it down and a green box with a clear top in between the tabs. i soldered it back together and the car started right up. so i threw out that fuse and ordered a new one and no problems since. but mine wouldnt turn over at all. not like yours seems to... but its something to look into...
