My friends civic is sitting in my driveway and it wont start.. were pretty sure that its the starter but i need to know what motor is in it before we order one. i think its a D15 but im not sure what was in the DX its a 94 DX coupe

D15B7, but all 92-00 Civics D-series engines use the same starter

check the stamp on the block...lower passenger side next to the tranny is a flat square that has he engine code..is the car clicking orturning over but not firing?and power at all?

is there fuel, spark, how long has it been sitting,
the engine is d15b7

it clicks.. yes fuel, yes spark and it was sitting for about an hour. i can hear the fuel pump kick in etc, im almost positive its the starter.

when my power wire to my starter wasnt connected right it wouldnt even click i wouldnt even hear the fuel pump prime

ok weird.. put new starter in (used) and it fired right up.. but now about a week and a half later same problem. could it be a really weird coincidence that the used starter was that close to dieing or is something draining the starter? or is it the alternator? we tried jumping it and nothing, also the headlights are much dimmer than normal.. but its not the battery. what could be going on?

alternator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

thats what i thought... but then when we jump it wouldnt it start but die? or at least turn over?

DOUBLExDEUCEx22

ok... we checked the starter and the ingnition switch to see if it was draining the starter... and both are ok... what could this be?

id go checj the altenator man i had the same problem it could be that or u could have a high voltage short...

DOUBLExDEUCEx22

if it were the alternator it would start iwth a jump though right?.. right now my guess is that one of the cells in the battery is bad and its causing a short.. because the starter was really hot
