Try to check for any codes...my car used to die when i was driving it..then i checked my code...code 15 for ignition output signal..bad ignitor coil...i replaced the distributor..and that solved the problem..

if it isnt anything with your ignition system,check your neutral safety switch,or your clutch bypass switch,to see if thats shorting out.

 

what kind of codes are you talking about? check engine codes because there isnt any. but ill look at those other things that youre talking about. thanks

 

Are you sure there's no spark? If there was no spark, then the car wouldn't run even if you push started it. Spark has to be there for combustion to occur.

Is your CEL (Check Engine Light) on? If it is, then use the first link in the Integra FAQ to check for your codes.

When you are experiencing this problem, describe exactly what happens? What happens when you turn the key? Does it crank? Does it click? Does it do anything?

 

i think theres definately spark because like you said we wouldnt be able to push start the car. turning key to start the engine all i hear is a click. like spark from somewhere maybe like a loose wire and it sparks. no check light at all. i;ve taken to the shop many times and had it fix many times but all the same results. they said there is somehting wrong inside the ignition but now were not even using the ignition. were starting the car at the white plastic thing and it still does the same thing.

 

Where do you hear the click? Somewhere in the dash area? So that means the starter isn't turning. You need to start there and look around.

Are the grounds okay? Power to the starter? Hit the end of the starter to see if it starts. If so, then the starter is starting to go.

Search for PatrickGSR94's thread on his starter problems. In it, BSQ makes a post about how you can replace a certain part with a Toyota part that's cheaper and works.

 

the clicking noise does sound like its coming from the dash area. the shop we took it to jump the car directly from the starter and they ruled out the starter already so we didnt bother buying another one. many people have told me to check the grounds but what ground wires should i check? thanks for the help

 

found out that one of the problems the car is suffering right is a bad ignitor. anyone have an extra or on for sale that i can buy.
