92 hatch won't start.
1992 civic hatchback Si. stock.
cars been running fine, then just all of a sudden it won't start..
battery has been recharged.. works when jumped from another car.
used to crank, but now starter doesn't even click...
all the belts seem fine.. nothing loose..
...alternator, dizzy, starter, fuses..??
how do i tell where the source of the problem is?

Your alternator could be dieing out and killed the battery. Also if you held the key and let it turn over more than 15 times you could of burned out the starter.
Get the car started and check what your voltage output is at the alternator, if your below 13v with no accessories on then its no good.
If you killed the batter you might need a new one. Try a trickle charge (less than 10 amps) on the battery first with a cheap auto zone battery charger. This will take a couple of hours. If you can, try to get a shop to do a load test to see if its still ok.
Then look at the starter. Most likely it just didn't work since it couldn't get and voltage.

If the alternator has died, be sure to charge the battery before installing the new alternator and taking it for a drive,a dead or low battery with a fresh alternator will put a strain on it and you can burn it out in a matter of minutes.

Re: 92 hatch won't start. (jackarse)
Same thing happend to my cousins car, all I did was popped my hood pulled my starter stuck it in and cranked right up. Theres a good way to tell if you have a bad starter get a good used one and check it out.
