Anyway, what exactly is going on? Does the starter actually spin the motor or does it just sound like its freewheeling? Does it spin but just doesnt actually fire up? Have you checked if your motor is getting spark to the plugs? Have you checked if it is actually getting fuel to the injectors? What have you done to the motor recently?

Where is the starter? Is that where I put the key?

How do I check if it is getting sparked?

The injectors should have fuel, I just filled up 2 days ago and I think my gas gauge is working

I haven't done anything to the engine, I did engage VTEC the other day. That was Fast!

Ask your dad to help you, or call someone who knows a little more about cars than you so you don't hurt yourself and wind up running the bench all season.
