Default CAR not starting...LOOK HERE and Help if you can. TIA

Battery is fine; ACC's comes on. When the key is turned to start... the engine does not turn over. No sound what so ever. No clicking or anything; dead silence.

Also, I can Push start the car. Thats how I got her home.

Car has had problems in the past were the fuel pump would NOT work and I would have to turn the key on and then off again and again until the fuel pump started. I know this has happened with other Integra's mainly DAs.

So, could it be the main-relay, the starter or my Ignition switch?

Please post comments. Thank you.

EDIT: Has anyone had this same issues with there integra?

Well when i got to the last line of your post you took the words outta my mouth.

"main-relay, the starter or my Ignition switch"

Those are my best guess, if it was just the starter it would kill the ACC during rollin the key to start. Im thinking it has more to do with the switch/tumbler because it doesnt cut off ACC power and click.

hmmmm... just read another thread and the similiar things were happening. Post were made about testing for voltage and the starter. But how would one test the ignition switch? I may just replace the main to stop the issues with the fuel pump.

Have you done any work to it recently, or did this just start happening?

Check the clutch safety interlock switch on the clutch pedal before doing anything else.

Auto to manual conversion. No safety switch.

Okay then, start with the easy stuff like checking for power at the starter solenoid with a test light or multimeter while someone is trying to crank.

I believe the starter is kind of like its own relay... when the plunger pushes it connects the ground internally to give the motor power to spin.

Even when its bad it will usually click, but not roll.

Im not sure if there is another relay for it.

If you want to look through a helms to find it-> http://www.redpepperracing.com...a-FSM

Hope you get it workin soon...

bad igntion switch, check it by doing this, have someone turn it into the start position, check the spade terminal, on the starter to see if you are getting the signal, if you are not getting the signal the ignition switch is bad
