i have a 92 civic hatch, has a ls swap in it. ran great, but all the sudden it wouldnt start, doesnt even turn over, it only start if you push start it. i put a new starter on it and it still didnt start by its own. also put a new clutch relay thing on it, and that still didnt work, i also checked the starter signal fuse under the dash and its still good, battery is good, i dont know what else to check if someone can help me.

 

do you have the wires going the battery grounded properly at the fuse box??? make sure u got the alt wire grounded in the fuse box too. my car was doing similar to urs and it was b/c i didnt have the alt wire grounded in the fuse box.

 

my da did the same danm thing. and my porb was a ground. but i had my battery in the back of the hatch. and it didnt have a good enough ground.

 

do u hear the fuel pump prime?

why would it be the fuel pump if the car runs?
it sounds like you wasted alot of money. its gota be a ground or bad conection if your starter and battery are good. or you have a bad ignition switch. see if you can start it with a screw driver on the starter. that will by pass the ignition switch and clutch saftey switch. if it still wont crank you have a bad conection some where.

 

HAHA That happens to me all the time because i have a loose wire on my starter, I think its called the S clip, on your starter theres the fat wire (positive) that gives it power, then there is another small 16 guage wire, jump 12 volts to it, that should turn over the starter.

 

Well first have someone hold the ignition switch to the crank position and with a test light check you starter solenoid wire to see if you have power to it. If you don't have power then check your battery connections/clutch safety switch/ alarm ignitin kill switch (if you have an alarm)/ fuse box. If the test light shows power. Then chek your ground on the thermostat housing is tight. Then the on your tranny and finally the one on your valve cover to the radiator support. I'm just giving you a few ideas to check if it gets more in depth and its beyond your capabilities then take it to a qualified mechanic.
