- Wed Sep 29, 2010 4:18 am #215820 I have a 94 Honda Civic with a d16z6 motor. Today I went out and my car would not start. It doesn't turn over or try to turn over. When I turn the key i hear a few clicks from relays under the dash, and the lights come up on the dash, but nothing else. I don't hear the fuel pump priming. When I let go of the key, (ON position), the speedometer moves erratically and there is still some clicking. When I let go of the clutch, the clicking sound stops, but the speedometer continues to move. I have replaced the starter and the battery.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Straight lines are for sissies.

- Wed Sep 29, 2010 10:18 pm #215858 sounds like you need to check your hot wires. I cannot say for sure, but it sounds to me like a battery cable/ starter etc. cable is grounding somewhere.

Typically i believe that is what causes the jumpy spedo cable and perhaps your clicking sounds. Did you replace those things before you started having the problems? If so i would check to make sure your firewall isnt hitting the positive battery term and make sure the rubber boot is over your starters 12v. wire.

If thats the problem and it still wont start after you fix it, check your fuses, because one or more of them may have popped.

Good luck to you.
