92 Honda Civic No Crank
My son called last night and said that his car would not
start using the starter, but could be started by having friends push it and start by popping the clutch. I though that it may be the battery, but just want to know what else to look at before I travel 80 miles to go look at it, is there any relays or something that is common that goes out on these? TIA Kevin |

I just talked to him again and asked if it clicked when he
turned the key, none.... He had a friend try to jump start it, still no luck, so looks like it may be the starter. Kevin |

How do you test for the switch being possibly bad?

I pulled the back of the ignition switch off (the part with the wires) and took it apart. The old grease had hardened and was blocking the connection when the switch was on (but not in start). This may be something similar or bad starter/solenoid. -- Mike Iglesias Email: University of California, Irvine phone: 949-824-6926 Network & Academic Computing Services FAX: 949-824-2069 |

Thanks for everyone that replied to my question, I purchased
a rebuilt starter but before changing it out, I checked to see if I had 12v on the small lead on the solenoid when the key was turned on to the start position, and then checked to make sure that the block had a good ground, after that was all checked I pulled the starter (looked a lot different than the one in the car, solenoid was almost twice the size) took it to the local AZ, one dead starter...changed and, life is good again, and a 17 year old has wheels once again........ Again, Thanks Kevin |
