Alright guys, heres the deal:

Acura Integra GSR: 2000
Miles: 59xxx
CEL light on, Maintenance Required light on
Set up: T1R 2.5" catback exhaust, JDM 4-1 Header, SMSP Cat

Last time i drove the car was on Friday 3-23. Today i tried to start the car and now it isn't starting. Before this happened, the car was runnig perfeectly fine, no signs of any sort of problems going on with the motor. I am a bit low on gas however not to the point where the gas light has come on. Thinking that it might be low on gas, i went and got some fuel and put it in, the car still does not start. When i try to start it (meaning i turn the key all the way and hold it until it starts like i normally do) there is only one tick. Every so often, it would sound like its trying to turn over, but not able to ( meaning it starts to turn but then stops being it seems like its stuck or something) Now i do have a CEL (code 67). The motor has always been running fine even with the CEL light on. Now the maintenance required light has came on recently, maybe about two weeks ago because my car is almost due for its 60k service. I dont know if these two things have any thing to do with it but I dont know wat the problem is and I need some assistance. Please help

CHECK TO SEE IF YOUR GETTING FUEL OR SPARK AND LET US KNO WHAT HAPPENS

 

random shot, but is your starter going bad, and how is your battery?

I was guessin that too. Make sure your battery isn't bad. try jumping the car. Most likely it's not your start.

 

Hmmm, any more opinions, i'd like to get this fixed asap

 

my guess is the battery. if you left it sitting since 3-3-06, if the parasitic drain was enough it would kill the battery. happens pretty easy on an old battery

 

oops, sorry i mean 3-23, so i really only let it sit 3 days ago

if you want answers, you are going to have to give some details of what is happening when you are trying to start it. you can check to see if it is getting fuse by removing the bolt on top of the fuel regulator and turning the key over to see if gasoline is coming out. to check to see if you are getting any spark; first remove the spark plug wire and attach it to a working sparkplug, hold it about 1/4 inch away from a metal that is grounded, finally have someone try to start it and see if you are getting spark

 

try push starting it. that will rule out ignition, fuel, everything else, except the starter system and battery

 

Try jump starting like someone said below. If it starts your battery is most likely weak. Buy a new one or test the old one at Autozone.
