No Start, Main relay clicking (new and old)
SOLVED Injector harness ground was rusted badly under the bolt, new bolt and cleaned ring connector, it stopped.
1996 civic lx
new and old main relay click the whole time your trying to start it, and very fast, rapid clicking
put new ecu in and nothing.
Pulled the diablo alarm out and resoldered the wires
New battery
no blown fuses
Any idea's?
Im thinking maybe a bad ignition switch

starter solenoid...my car did something like this. if you can hear the relay click its not the ignition switch. if it was the switch you wouldnt hear it click at all. the circuit is good up to the relay so its fine. check your starter solenoid and if it keeps doing it check your wiring from your relay to the starter.

Upon closer inspection.....
I listened to the clicking and it sounded like mores code
*-*-*-*---*-*-*-*---*-*-*-*
It was the injectors misfiring
Turned out the very clean ground on the thermostat housing was very rusty under the bolt. Put ne bolt on and ground the ring down, it stopped clicking and attempted to fire, but i think there soaked in starting fluid. Needs plugs now lol. But it should start after that.
