If you have any questions about the 90-93 Integra, please ask, I have been driving them almost exclusively for 11 years straight and this is the fifth one I've owned. Now, I have to get ready for snow, do my brakes, etc.I picked up a set of 99-00 Si wheels for winter, they will be Plastidipped hot pink :) PLEASE fix it as soon as the problem starts - you don't want to wait until it won't start anymore or you have to hold the key to keep it running.Īfter this, my car has been running - and starting - perfectly.

A lot of times it can be much worse than what happened to me, I have heard of people having to hold the key in certain spots just to keep the car running.I'm glad it didn't get to that point, because I don't know how I'd shift.Īnyway, I basically lost contact in the second position, when the dash lights come on.
