i am thinking about buying a 89 crx si. it has a b18a1 and he says he think it needs a starter. i tried to start it, the pump primes, i turn the key and it doesnt do anything. the pump primes still when i turn the key so does it sound like the starter?? also it sounds like the relay clicks over and over. like the sound of a dead battery kinda.

 

take the starter to a parts store and it have load tested.

 

its not my car and the guy says the starter is gone. im thinkin about buying the car. turn the key, pump primes then turn the key and nothing happens. hold it long enough and it sounds like the main relay clicks very fast.

 

If i were in your situation, I would find a good known starter and install and test it again.

 

ya thats wut im planning for tommorw. hes askin 1000 for it and i offered him 700 and i think hes gonna take it. i told him i would swap him some other parts too. u saw the pics a few minutes ago didnt u?? the topic name was i need some opinions. i jus found out the exhaust is a greddy catback. the way i see it, hasport mounts-500 depending where u buy it, b18a1 swap- 1000-1500, greddy exhaust-400-500. thats worth almost triple the car, thats jus the goodies.

have a friend try to crank the car over.
