Hey guys i have a 1993 honda civic ex, the fuel pump primes all the time with the key on..What would cause this? Thanks
I also have codes 8 and 9.. Did 93 Honda Civic automatic transmissions take the Honda fluid or did they run Dextron? I checked the fluid and it looks new.. Its a brown color…What color is Honda ATF fluid? I believe the previous owner may have changed it..The reason I ask is the car shifts into second gear late. They also put Prestone Power steering fluid in the reservoir and the pump sounds almost like a jackhammer.

fuel pump- there is a relay in under the hood that powers the fuel pump for 2 seconds with key on engine off, and is powered all times with engine running. that relay may not be switching properly. try swapping it with a similar relay next to it like a horn relay. if it works properly replace the relay, if not then what ever is supposed to tell the relay to shut off isnt doing its job.
the code are both cylinder position codes. check the connections at the distributor. if the connection is tight and clean, youre more than likely gonna need a distributor. the position sensors are built into the distributor and cant be replaced by themselves.
atf- no tranny fluid should look brown. it should be a bright clean red/pink color. use honda atf or atf that meets honda specs.
power steering- honda’s are very picky about the fluid you put in. use ONLY honda fluid or fluid that is made specifically for honda. have the system flushed and filled the proper fluid. the pump may already be toast so thatll need to be replaced along with the flush.
Hey guys where would the TCM be in a 1993 civic? I noticed on the Accords its next to the PCM…On this Civic all I see is the PCM in the passenger kick panel. Thanks
