Ok my friend recently sold me his eg she'll and by what he tell me is that his car would never turn on with the key , and with my eg everything would turn on just fine , so now that I swapped my mottor in the new she'll my car doesn't turn on with the key .

anyone know the problem , I still have everything from my eg , anything else I need to swap out to fix the problem ,
My car only turns on by push to start

Did you also swap transmissions?

Ulises Uribe

Na man. im running a b18 b1 on Gsr head with a Gsr tranny

You did swap the transmission.

Check the rubber stopper at the top of the clutch pedal. Did it fall out?

on the starter there is a thin wire with a spade connector, this is the signal wire, in theory I believe you should be able to jump a wire from the positive on the battery and have it start, if the starter is good or you could get a volt meter and test the wire and see if you get voltage when the key is turned,

there is a harness in the steering colum that can have issues it connects to the back of the key cylinder and to the fuse box, if they ever had an alarm this was probably hacked into

Ulises Uribe

The starter is good , it just fired up by doing what you told me ,
When I try turning the key all I get is a clicking noise and the fan turns off

I'd have to check when I get home . I'm at work right now , what's does that cause if that were the case ?

Former User

Take a wild guess.

Ulises Uribe

That the car won't turn on Ahah , thanks man , I'll go ahead and check that out later on today and I will get back to you guys with more information

Ulises Uribe

Ok so I had fallen off , I put it back on and still nothing happened , won't start . Replaced my ignition switch with the one from other hatch , the wires as well and still nothing

but, if you run that wire (that plugs into the starter solenoid/the smaller cylinder in the starter/) to the battery, she starts?

my 97 had a similar sickness.

if I've got this straight, there's probably a problem somewhere down the line with that wire. the fix I did was run a new wire. from the solonoid, to a switch in the dash, to the hot side of the battery, eh

*or the super correct fix I think would be following your solonoid wire through the harness to hopefully find something stupid

I think I said that right. hit me up if I can help more.

now to start my civic, I turn the key for gas, then hit the "switch" that I installed for igni

I wouldn't do anything else until you verify if the stopper is in place

Yeah....very good advice on finding the issue....trace wire to find something stupid......

OP

A. plastic piece of **** starter switch on the clutch pedal
B. starter cut relay
C. If this car had an alarm you'll need to rewire the ignition

so, what did the survey say?
