Civic EG

Hey fellas got a problem, I was pulling out of a parking space, and I stalled out my car, and from then on it won't crank. Ive replaced the spark plugs SO FAR... Ive check the timing...its good. Ive also tried jumping it from a roll...and just for shits and giggles ive tried jumping it off from another vehicle. I can hear the fuel pump priming, so its good. Its not "turning over" at all. I turn the key and nothing happens. The radio and all the gauge lights turn on like norm...but it won't turn over and crank. Ive tried my best to describe my situation, any advice and help would be greatly appreciated.!!

hmm..

did you stall it out by driver error?? or did it die on its own??


I was thinkin like the ground to the starter, but wouldn't it still roll start without that? good luck man, hopefully someone else will chime in...

Driver error....lol

floor mat isn't bunched up behind the pedal is it??

hmm. let me check lol nah its all good.....i thought about that too, what would i be looking for if that was the case.??? I fugured a lose connection at the clutch pedal, but Ive never been down there, how would I tell if anything was out of place.?????

you dont have an immobilizer by amy chance do you?
if so, check the connections....

No immobilizer here, I probably should check the connections... starting to get dark now. good time to check it tomorrow.

Did you try to jump the starter? bridge it some people call it be careful there will be sparks but for some reason im thinking its either the starter but if there isnt even a click when you try to turn the car over(like the starterclicks before it turns over) it could be a relay....

but forit just to die like that kinda confuses me id work from the starter back test teh starter, check wires well check fuses first then starter then loose or bad connections. etc.....


but yea id say if its its not teh starter then its a sensor on the clutch pedal....

When you say jump the starter, do you mean touch the two bolts on the starter solenoid??? I tried that already, didnt work, Im all out of ideas. The clutch pedal seems to be the common response, so Im going to get on that tomorrow. Still.....any ideas are very much welcome!!

yea make sure the cars in neutral and then touch the neg and pos and if it dosent turn its either the neg or positive that is either bad on the starter or it could very well be the starter.....

its simple to do but yea you'd need a friend depending on where your car is ....id pop out the starter and take it to advance auto or auto zone and they should be able to test it for free, that way you can figure out if its the starter of not.....im wondering if the starter gear got stuck out and that is why nothing is happening.....

I have a question...if I tried to "pop the clutch" and start it while it was rolling...would it start whether the starter was good or not, someone told me it wouldnt matter, but who knows??

pop starting you can do weight the starter is good or not thats how i got my truck back home when the starter i put in quit on me....so yea it can be done with a bad starter but to be safe check your starter first because you could do damage to stuff and yea id just do a safety check first before you attempt that because it dose put a strain on parts when you jump start.....

it wont even jump start though.....

Someone told me that if you hold the spark plug wire at the top of the hole where it goes, and get someone to try and crank it, if you dont see spark, its ur dizzy, not sure if this is true or not, anyone care to vouch for this idea???

But a bad spark plug wire will also cause you not to see the spark.
