My Civic Gsr stalled and won't start? any advice HT?
Well I have a 1996 civic with a Integra gsr motor in it but really havent had any engine problems with it besides the high idle.
Just yesterday night i was driving about 35-40 miles an hour when I noticed my lights inside my car dimmed pretty low before my car started to idle erratically and sputter. I tried to level out the idle by giving it some gas but it would just idle for a second then drop really low as if it was going to stall. Then finally my car stalled and I rolled it into a parking spot at some bar. But when it stalled all the lights went off.
When I tried to restart it the power inside the car worked but the engine would just sound like it was going to turn but it wouldnt.
Also, I just replaced the battery with a new one.

charge the battery and see if it starts. Take off the positive on the battery and if it dies. change alternator. if not check igniter like the post above says

alternator or ignition coil **** the bed in a serious way.
test both, replace whats broken. take two beers. and follow with two more.

The starter won't crank the engine, right? When the key is turned to ON(II), do the dash warning lights fail to illuminate? If so, check the ignition switch and the battery terminals and ground wire.
