Can someone help me out. We checked all fuses, and grounds. There all good, we checked them all 4 times each, haha. Then we took the starter out and took it to autozone, and it measured good. Battery is strong(tested that also). I dont know what it could be(other than the keystarter). Its like it turns the battery on, but the starter signal is bad or something, I dont know. Anyone have any ideas why the car wont even click over? Starter is good, Battery is good, fuses are good, and grounds are good. We are real sure about the first 3, and pretty positive(or negative, haha) about the grounds.

 

Under the dash next to the main relay is the starter relay. replace it with one from the AC relays located behind the passenger side headlight and plug that one in. If it starts go down to honda and get a new one for 27 bucks. IM me if you need the part number.

do you have a ground strap from your valve cover to the chassis? that one got me...

 

Ohh **** dude, we dont have that ground wire from the valve cover to the chassis.. Would that ground make it from not starting? Damn, I thought we had all the grounds in place. That one must of fell off when we had the valve cover off and doing the head. Well I have to wait till after school to try it out, but if that wire can stop the car from starting thats what it is I am sure. Any other suggestions..

I will try that starter relay too. Is there a relay for the blinkers? I am just wondering, freind has a problem there..

 

my car started like 5 times in a row without any problems. try #6 and the thing wouldn't start. we changed nothing and were totally baffled. figured out the valve cover wasn't grounded and the thing started right up.

its worth a try, right?

 

Did you have it grounded those other 5 times and it just came off or what?

 

it was never grounded the 5 times we started it, but then it just wouldn't start. once we hooked up the ground strap to the valve cover it started every time.

 

I had the same problem, starter would work sometimes and others it would take a crap and you'd see me pushing my hatch down the street the running to jump in a bump start it. I had the ground from the valve cover to the chasis but it still wouldn't start. I ended up grounding the starter to the chasis and making the car a kind of push button start and know it works perfect. To see if the starter is not getting a good ground use some jumper cables and hook one side to the body of the starter and the other to the neg of the battery

 

Well we got the starter working. We had to hook an extra ground too it like EVO said. But now the car wont start. The starter is trying, its getting fuel and spark. We checked the spart plugs for spark, and we smell the fuel, haha. Anyway, what we thing is wrong is the cam Timing, any other suggestions on that?
