Wazzup H-T i really need your help. My car has been in the body shop since july and they wont start working on it until i fix this problem. My car will not start unless i push start it. I have a 93 coupe with a 2nd gen JDM B16 swap. When i turn the key the starter only spins; it doesnt pop out to the flywheel to start up. I took off the starter and put it on another car and it started right up so it is not the starter. The flywheel teeth looks and feels fine from what i can see when i take the starter off. I do have an alarm system with auto start; could that be the problem? When the problem first started happening sometimes when i pump the clutch when tring to start it would start sometimes but it wont anymore. I am open to all suggestions i really want my car back i miss her i got JDM everything for the front because a was in an accident but i miss driving my car and i cant want to she her new look.
Please help!!!!!!!!!

yeah, that's how I start my car when my battery dies. While running its powered by the alternator. you can have enough juice to power the car, but not enough to start it. I would test it and make sure before looking into other possible causes.

i was told for most stickshift cars you cant use remote start unless you can start it without the clutch. who installed it and does your alarm still work?

bypass the clutch switch and make sure to leave it in neutral.

good to know

sounds like the ground for the clutch itself. like the car wont start unless the clutch is depressed, which then grounds, and allows you to start the car. check your wires for that, sounds like the problem to me.

if its not that, which is the easiest and quickest check, check how the wiring was done for the remote start. something mine have grounded out or came undone or something, which isnt allowing you to start the car. if everything appears to be ok, try what IHateJDM said and bypass the clutch switch. worth a try.

good luck.

i dont think that it has anything to do with the clutch ground because i dont have to use the clutch to start the car because of the alarm.

have you tried to start it with the remote start? if soo what happend? it does sound like a battery problem to me.... hook up a DMM to the batt and see if you have atleast 12.6 volts... and try to start it with the remote start it might be a bad conections at the starter wires there they wired your remote start up. you may not be getting enought current through thoes wires to get the starter enough power. and have you looked at the teeth on the starter itself? i know you looked at the flywheel but what about the starter? just some ideas?
