So basically i go to my car today and it doesn't start. When i turn the key the radio still turns on, as does my V1, so its not the battery for sure. Right now im assuming its the spark plugs. I'm just making sure im on the right track, and that it really is the spark plugs. Also, if it is, what spark plugs do you guys recommend, and where would I be able to get them ASAP for the cheapest price possible. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

does the car crank over? you might not have enough cca to turn the starter

 

im sorry what do you mean by crank over?

 

Does your engine make any noise?
Or, perhaps you turn the key and hear "click".
Try turning the radio and the radar detector off, roll down the window, and open the hood.

 

start at the battery (ensure the battery has enough juice to crank your car), then move to check for spark (distributor & its components).....

 

no engine doesnt make any noise...
and yea when i turn key its just that click

 

recharge your battery or buy a new one

 

im just curious, but how do you know its the battery?

 

Your starter is what turns the motor. Imagine that little sucker trying to turn your crank. If the battery doesnt have enough juice, it wont turn over. Itll click. When it clicks, it says "okay, I dont have enough power, I give up...."

Then it will go into complete submission mode-no click and the dash lights go out. The battery is saying "Please let me die in peace!"

 

thanks for all the info guys!

because everyone of us has had a dead battery at one point or another in our ITRs lol

 

How corroded are your battery terminals? Trying to start my accord last night it just clicked, cleaned the connections with some Coke and a wire brush and it started right up.

More than likely your battery is dead though.

 

update

so today i go to car and turn the key again. this time the V1 or the radio doesnt even turn on, and the light is very dim. so i guess my battery is dying.
