Civic Wont Start
i have an 96 Civic ex and today i tried starting my car and it wont start yesterday it started and drove fine. the car dont crank or nothing it just makes a little clicking noise i believe i hear it by the main relay. I am kind of low on gas but it should atleast crank. I have jump starting it with another battery still does the same thing. Any suggestions will be helpful thanks guys

Re: Civic Wont Start
starter or battery cables need tightening.
for the starter check for constant power at the bigger cable.
check for power on the fusible link littel wire while "trying" to crank.
if you have power on both but the starter does nto engage then you will be possibly looking for a new starter.
another possiblity is that your motor is seized or even a seized pulley. try rotating the crankshaft (righty tighty) to see if teh crankshaft does in fact spin. dont mean to scare you here but it is a possiblilty.
