My car is a 94 Civic VX, and it is bone stock. When I tried starting my car today, the motor just kept cranking and cranking, but it never started.

What would be the most probable problem for my car?

Thanks in advance for the help guys.

You need to be Far more specific

Well, my car is bone stock. Overall maintance has been good, but I did have a little spark plug wire problem. One wire just hasnt fit right, so the power has been pretty weak. I'm not sure if that would have any affect on the car having trouble starting.

I just turn the key, and all it does is crank and crank and crank. I've had some trouble starting the car in the past, but whatever the problem is, I guess it finally gave in. Is it DEFINATELY the starter, or can it be something else? I just want to know what I need to buy for this problem to get fixed.

It it cranks over it isnt the starter. If the starter was bad it would click or just not do anything when you try to fire it up. If you try and fire it up and it just doesnt start.

Try Reconnecting all spark plug cables. take um off and put them back on. or better yet check to see if you have spark. If you do check fuel level. Make sure fuel is going to the motor.

should be good enough to start.

^I tried removing the sparkplug wires and reinstalling them, and still the motor didn't start.

Another thing to note...Last week, after my car was warmed up, my car would stall on the road because my RPM would drop down all the way to 0 and stall. I would have to keep revving my engine just to keep it alive.

I have the same problem with my EK hatch. Come to find out my timing had jumped. I adjusted the timing and now the car starts right up, but with a few bent valves.

get some starting fluid and spray in the throttle body, if it starts you are not getting enough fuel and you can start by changing the fuel filter. Also make sure your fuel pump is coming on, you should be able the hear a buzz when you turn the key to the accessories position.

When I turn the key, I hear the pump for like 1 second like always. Seems like nothing's wrong in that area. It's not a "buzz", but the usual noise is still there.

Still no luck. Any one else with any input?

pull a spark plug out and connect it back to the plug wire, try to start it and see if that spark plug is sparking.
