I bought a s2000 today... it is a salvage and has been sitting for 2 years. the brakes are badly rusted. all but one of the tires move. the rear driver will not move. Did honda put some kind of lock to prevent theft when the car is not running? I wil not start also. any ideas on how to fix this?

 

hummm. that could be a lot of differnt things... does it even try to turn over?? or does it do absolutlly nothing when you turn the key?

 

ohhh by the way.. you know how to start it right????

you push the clutch down, then turn the key, then push the start button....

or turn the key then push the clutch down then push the start button....

 

Sounds like the diff is blown.

 

Hope you didnt pay much for it...

 

It's clicking.... but i know it will start ... they drove it in 2 years ago... and a few days ago when i had a booster hooked up to it at the yard it was turning over. i think it was out of gas then...

also there is a air pump in the front left that is totaly crushed... i have a new one but it is in the box... would this be it?

The back dr. wheel will nt turn at all ...it was on a jack and i couldnt budge it

 

It would help if you told us exactly what type of damage this car has?

 

axle, diff anything

 

looks like you're in for more then you bargained for... looks like you've got a lot of work to do..

 

It was hit in the front left.

 

when i try to turn it over it clicks very rapidly...daed bat?

 

there are a lot of things to check....

battery would be a good start..also since it's been sitting for 2 years.. check the spark plugs, dristributer cap stuff liek that.... also check the fuel lines... .. if it's clicking it's probably not the starter.. so that should be fine...

 

where is the click coming from? if its near the rear tire, its the diff

 

replace all the usuals.. batt, spark plugs, fresh gas... then go from there

otherwise, sounds like you need a mechanic that knows what hes lookin for, good luck

 

Thanks...i gave up for the night...ha ha

something electrical i would think

 

Sounds like your not a mechanic. How bad is the damage on the front? It didnt get totaled for a minor fender bender. Is the engine bay ok? The clicking should be your starter trying to turn. You need a new battery.

 

do you have a service manual? i suggest getting one if you don't
