00 civic si wont start. im not getting spark, i have a new distributor and not getting spark from the wires, and it seems like my battery is going dead often but its 3 months old, it just cranks and cranks and cranks.
need some assistance, please

john666

well.. check simple things like the battery connections.

use a well know battery.. spark plugs bad? wires bad? check all grounds

if your battery is dying on you often,it could be related to your alternator,or else just a bad battery. as for no spark,do the usual checks. do a search for no spark,that'll keep you occupied for a while.

the car has been sitting for 6 months and is now turbocharged but i didnt touch anything that would cause it to die, it ran good then died, we went to run it and at 50mph it just died. no spark what so ever and i have 40psi of fuel pressure.

i dunno but try using another ECU from a friend or somethin.......do u have MSD ?

Possible main relay, check ur wire harness. Listen for the clicks when you turn the key

yes i had msd sci installed and then it died, i removed the msd and installed the stock ignition back in and its still dead. my 6 month old advanced auto battery is at 8.88 volts and my dads 05 volvo is 12.25 volts

sometimes it does just click when i turn the ignition on

i try unhooking the aem ems and start the car with the stock ecu and still nothing.
im lost!!!

1baddcivicsi

anyone else have any ideas??????

i heard of MSD'S burnin ECU'S so try a new ecu from someone if u gots a new dizzy

1baddcivicsi

i never heard of that. but i hope thats not it

1baddcivicsi

if my battery is constantly below 12volts (its 8.8volts) do u think my alternator went out?????

mikeycivic

will the car start if you jump it?

1baddcivicsi

no, all the interior & exterior lights work when the jumper cables are hooked up, and it still cranks but no start

jdm_poompi

jdm_poompi

I am having the same problem, mine didnt have any spark but now i got it back. Do you have any wires running into your fuse box? Somehow we traced it all the way back to a blown fuse in the fuse box from the distributor, to the harness, to the main relay to a single 15amp fuse. Pluged in new fuse and had spark again.

Metalluthier

Well, check all relays all fuses. You could have flooded your engine

1baddcivicsi

or could it be a possible cps crankshaft position sensor??????

1baddcivicsi

no fuses seem to be blown

1baddcivicsi

all fuses are good, but where are all the relays located at???? battery is full charged at 12.6volts and still dead.

anything else i should check???

try use a rachet wrench turn a crank shaft bolt i not sure wat size . if engine turn that's mean internal parts ok, but if not that's mean something wrong in internal compoinent such as piston ring stuck or hit a valv, out of timing

if hes cranking the engine over by the starter, dont you think the internals would be fine as well?

on another note, find an ecu to swap, if that doesnt work, check your stock coil as well IN the dizzy. if they heat up theyll overload and go bad.... and also a main relay...
