HELP: Exam tommorow + car won't start
The car is a 92 vx and had a dx motor swapped over, everything worked fine.
Now, when you try to start it the motor won't turn over. The battery is brand new and everything works (headlights, wipers, etc.) but it won't start. It does however make a loud clicking sound everytime you try to start it.

Have the battery tested, make sure the connections to the starter are good.
If all else fails, the starter solenoid is bad and starter will need to be replaced.

Try bumpstarting it. It may work, may not.

Yeah dude just push start it. I did the same thing when my car wouldn't start and I had to get to class. I've been their and done that. Just a get a bunch of meat head football players to push your toy down the street.

yea, bang the starter with a mallet or something, sounds like it's about to go out. i've had this problem before on one of my vans. just whacked the starter and started.

the same thing happened to me this morning in my 1991 integra gs. it would just make a noticable click sound whenever i tried to start it. then after a while of pulling and checking fuses here and there, i tried it again and it started. this has happened to me in this car a few times and usually with persistance, it started. i just kept trying and trying.

Starter solenoid. Not sure if someone already posted this, but use a hammer and tap the starter, then start.
