Assuming 5-speed: Check the rubber stopper at the top of the clutch pedal (clutch safety switch): http://s639.photobucket.com/user/Ron..._5078.jpg.html

Sounds like it's time to get out the service manual (google for it) to diagnose a no-start condition. Bonne chance.

Moving to the acura forum. Not sure why you posted this up in the civic del sol forum.

Glad you've still been getting help none the less though.

NVM, not sure which Acura forum would be best suited for the older 1.6 EL. Can't say I'm familiar enough to know which it would fall under.

^ It's a Civic in disguise. It belongs here.

Good to know. I assumed the Acura emblem meant it was truly an overpriced Honda not just a Honda in disguise.

Do any of the lights on the dash come on when you turn the key to the on position?

I just had the same issue on my '94 Civic. Turned out it was the electrical portion of the ignition switch. I had all my dash lights when the key was in the on position, but nothing would happen when i would turn the key to the start position.

yes when i turn my key to on position everything is ok the fuel pump start and the main relay does is clicking noise... when i press the clutch and turn the key there's just nothing!!!

You're gonna have to check that main relay. Also there is another relay you need to check as well. Its located to the left of the dash fusebox.

Yeah i saw a neighbor of mine have one stateside and it doesn't look that bad. Its still a civic but with leather interior. Dont' feel bad, i felt the same way when I saw one.

And do you know if your neutral safety switch on the clutch pedal is still working properly?

I know on mine, I have to lift the pedal ever so slightly so the switch makes contact and the car cranks over. The carpet padding has become compressed and so the pin switch could use an adjustment, I've just not relished messing with it.

I usually turn the key to crank and then push my clutch in so that it passes the contact point and the car starts cranking.

Out of curiosity have you tried push starting it? Might not be an option if clutch is out, but you can try push starting in reverse maybe... Also check the dizzy there are DIY guides if you can get a multimeter. Try link below and I understand its not even cranking.

I hope there are no rules about linking to other forums...

Yer good, for one thing, same board, same forum, different thread. Nice find.

People do reference other boards and threads at times and that's been okay usually. d-series.org sometimes has excellent reference material as an example.

Your linked reference is good, if not excellent.
