Default Whats wrong with my car????help.

Okay when ever i try to start it, it won't start. It won't crank or anything. I know it's not the battery because i tried boosting it and same problem it just won't crank at all, i even changed the battery. Sometimes it'll crank and start and some other times it will just do nothing. Whats wrong with it???

No engine mods. Sohc 1.5l engine.

So it makes no noise at all? If so could be a main relay.

if there is not clicking sound then that means that its the starter....no workie....usually it would click over if it wasnt the starter.....

could be the main relay, they usually go bad......if it is the main relay, get a new years civic's relay because they are better....thats it...

try to get a metal bar of some sort and tap the starter while someone else turns the key. if this works, then your starter is sticking and u need a new one.
