Ok, so I have searched and all the problems other people had didnt fix my problem. I have a 1992 civic with a Z6 swap in it..I drove the swap for 150 miles fine and then the clutch went out..I think I fixed that. Before I fixed it the car started just fine..about a week before I tried to start it this last time actually. All I did was change the Clutch master cylinder..nothing else. I have checked all my plugs, grounds, traced that small wire that goes into the starter and thats fine. Starter is fine. The car doesn't even want to crank, its just a click and then I hear the main relay whirring when I try to start it. I swapped out ECU's...still nothing. anything else left it could be?

 

check your battery voltage, all your grounds chassis to trans,block,head ect.

 

alright dude...ill give you a list of things to check according to your situation...

1}check the battery terminals for corrosion or looseness
2}check the battery haha...
3}clutch is not completely depressed if you have a manual for your car is not in park if you have an auto...
4}broken loose or disconnected wiring in starting circuit
5} starter motor pinion jammed in flywheel ring gear
6}bad starter
7}ignition switch is faulty
8}starter pinion or flywheel teeth worn or broken...

check these out and let me know dude...seeeeeeeeeyaaaaa

 

grounds are good..please do not tell me to check the grounds and fuses..trust me..I have done it a TON of times. It has something to do with the starter I am almost certain (but the starter is good I took it to get it tested)

 

the only thing I can't check is the ignition switch...now..as far as everything else its good..the battery has a full charge, I even switched out batteries with my step-bro and it still didn't start. Flywheel is fine (just had the tranny off so I inspected it lol) starter is good (I just reinstalled it before I made this topic)

 

ok if you installed the starter correctly the starter has to be bad...those are the only things...

 

. . . I took it to advanced auto and they bench tested it...went off like it should.

 

hmm, still no idea's? this sucks :-(

 

main relay is "whiring" what does that mean?


have you checked your main relay?

have you tried jump starting your car or using a differnt battery?

 

well i diagnosed your problem using a haynes manual according to your description so you have to figure it out from there i dont know what else it could be both from personal experience and the manual...
