Re: Help quick car won't start (SjCiViCHB)
starter doesn't crank. battery light in the cluster was flickering when i've been starting recently. i have a new battery, i'll try that.
didn't try jumping it cuz it's parked where there really isn't room for another car

Re: Help quick car won't start (EG Civic)
the dash lights turn on, the interior light turns on, the fuel pump will go on....all that will happen when the key is in position 2 (on). but when i go to position 3 (start), nothing. no cranks, no nothing. suuuucks.
i have a starter from a friend ad a new battery on my passenger seat. i'm gonna try the starter and alternator first, and then if those don't work swap thebattery.
if you guys have anymore input feel free to let me know. i can move my car till i fix it.

It's the starter... U got a bad starter... Happen to my friend(ITR 2k) once, back then he called me every thursday to fix his car... It happens so that every thursday it breaks down... Change the starter and it should be fine.. Anything else wrong, just post it up...
