took the valve cover off, after i was done...put it back on, everything seems fine
go to start the car, nada....not a sound, what could be wrong?

all ideas welcomed

tia

(P.S. ground strap is on properly)

 

yes

im just at a loss of ideas..........

 

That is really wierd. Can you get the radio to go on? Does the car have power? The thing won't turn over, or does it turn over a little bit but not start?

 

the radio/lights/moonroof/etc, every control in the car works

and no, the thing wont even turn over at all

this sucks, and i have to do so much crap tomorrow......

 

take it off and do it again....only way to be sure. good luck

 

make sur your ground wire is back in place, plugs and wires are all fitted back correctly...

 

did u ground everthing??
all plugs are in???

triple checked everything, it all seems well and intact

 

did u leave anytools in there?
could be a ground
wiggle the batt connectors

 

check the underhood fuel fuse (its the top left 15 amp fuse). If you blew that fuse then your car wont turn over. There is also the possibilty that it could be ignition related and you want to check and see if you have spark. Why did u remove your valvecover?

 

Check to see if you disturbed the little 12v lead to the starter...

Does that car push start? So everything works but the engine doesn't turn over?

 

OMG im a ******* iddiot....

im not even going to say what the problem was, in hopes i dont get the dumb *** of the year award at honda-tech, LOL......ahh man

 

ahh comon you gotta tell, i pomise i wont tell anyone. At least you fixed the problem.
Nick

 

no no no

you gotta tell us now

 

yeah, cmon, fess up.

really, by telling us, you may save some of us (me) from avoiding the same problem.

 

come on, let us know so we can avoid making that mistake!

 

Awwww, come on now. We all make idiot mistakes sometimes. Fill us in man!

 

He'll probably come back under another name now LOL

 

Let me guess, you forgot to put spark plugs back in?

CHECK THE GROUND!!!

if that aint it....you learned a lesson!

 

Maybe he forgot to push the clutch in

 

LOL! Now that would be funny.

 

No more threads allowed until you tell us what you did. Even with the plugs out, the car would still turn over.

What were you doing in there anyway - you said "when you were done", but didn't say you were doing a valve adjustment. Hmmmmmmmm



BudMan - who twice forgot (along with Batoutahell) to remove the ratchet before turning the car over after a valve adjustment - (now I recommend placing a red rag over the steering wheel as a reminder!)

 

I'll bet the spark plug cables were in the wrong order.
I did that once. Hard to admit but it happens.

 

Nope, car will turn over with the plug wires in the wrong order.

My bet is a grounding issue or he missed a wire to the starter. Battery cables are fine if he can use the radio without it dying out when trying to start..

so what was it?
