I have a 1994 honda civic ex, 5 speed, bone stock.

When I turn the key over, the car doesn't start. The starter doesn't turn over, and I get no response from the car. Battery is new, and so is the starter. I eliminated the clutch switch as the problem, and don't know what else to do.

I searched the manual for a starter relay but couldn't find anything. I noticed a relay under the hood for the heater motor that was clicking everytime i turned the key to start, so i messed with it a little, cleaned the connections and now i can get the car to start every once in a while.

I'm lost, and any help would be appreciated. Usually I would spend some time under the hood with a multimeter trying to figure it all out but I am out of time and would rather hope that someone here has had a similar issue.

Thanks.

test the power cable going to the starter from the battery positive terminal for at least 12 volts, and check the small 1 wire going onto the starter for corrosion,

power wire to starer is 12v, and the small wire doesn't have any corrosion, I also cleaned all the terminals and applied dielectric grease to all connections for the starter.

Do you have 12 volts on the single small wire going to solenoid on starter when someone tries to start the car?
