Re: 98 civic ex just dies

it could be the main relay that has a crack on the soldering and it has to be re soldered again

also it could be good to check fuel pump relay

Re: 98 civic ex just dies

relay is fine the ignition switch is the problem i believe now the dash lights wont come on when you try to start the car and when it dies the only way to roll down the windows is when the key is turning over the engine
