burn up coil on relay

Running too high of voltage through the coil will increase the current which can cause the coil to burn up. What is the relay for?Kevin Pierson

hi  they call it the main realy for the fuel pump on a 1994 honda delsolsurfer ron

Are you sure the coil is burning up and not the contacts? I have rarely, if ever, seen the coil fail. The contacts are the "wear" part.Kevin Pierson

I had a 94 Civic that had a strange problem with that relay. The day after a hard rain, my car would not start. Leave it for a few hours it would start. I discovered that if I left the key on for a minute or 2 you would hear the relay click and it would start. I never took the time to troubleshoot it, I would just wait the minute before starting.

Haha. Like a "wait to start" bulb but on a gas engine. That is great.

 i now have burend up  three coils on a 1994 honda delsol its call ed the main relay and runs the fule pump can you by pas it i realy dont know what to do about finding the problemsurfer ron

No point replacing until you find out the problem, work back from your last post. In normal operation I've seen these coils last 20 years plus.

By the way the word is BURNT and have you a) Blown any light bulbs? b) Jump started your car from another vehicle recently? Suspect alternator. I've never even seen a burnt out coil, read what Kevin Pierson says in the previous thread.

How are you testing the coil to prove it is burnt up? As mentioned in the other thread I would be more suspect of the contacts not the coil. If it is a contact problem you could be burning them up by a fuel pump that is on its way out.Kevin Pierson
