Since yesterday my car stop starting....i checked the ground and power its fine,cleaned it out, i bought a new resistor box the day prior from it not starting, my battery is fresh, this problem happened after i put back on the zc fuel injectors.....also the alternator is fine so...idk whats wrong with it??? could it be a bad starter??/ aslo checked the dist but motors looks fine...of course i cant check it cuz it doesnt crank over


(88 jdm dohc zc, on a 91 crx hf)

 

Does the starter make any noise ? Hit it with a hammer while someone turns the key.

If its not making any noise test to see if your getting 12v to the starter

 

well i just tried that still nothing...i think my starter went dead??? but i just bought it about 2 months ago

I just want to know if your getting power to the starter, if your not then it could be the ignition switch

Disconnect the ignition switch under the steering wheel, take a fluk meter and prob the other side, turn the key and you should get volts.

 

If you have a manual it could be the little clutch switch. Its behind the clutch and it connects when the clutch is depressed allowing the car to start, when this happened to my car, all it did was click when I went to start it. What I did was just soldered the 2 wires together.

Also, could it be the main relay?

I don't know how you checked the starter, but if you turn the ignition switch to the 'on' position, then go under your hood. Take a screw driver (BE CAREFUL) and connect the two wires that are on the starter with the screw driver. You should be able to get it cranking, if not started. (Thats how I tested it). I am saying be careful because it will spark a **** load and the metal on the screwdriver will get really hot. However, if you are sure its not the starter, then don't bother doing this.
