With that little of info.... An engine needs spark, fuel, compression, and air to start... so check to see what one you are not getting and come tell us what u dont have. Victor

Whats the background on the car? Did it just start doing this? Has it been sitting? How about ur compression? Did you check that?

forget the background of the car, this isn't a interrogation. i'm guessing it's your main relay. can you hear the fuel pump prime? it's the humming noise from the back seat right before your start the car.

Yes the motor was running great about 3 weeks ago everything was fine but i needed a new clutch so i decided to take out the motor out of my 1993 civic si hatch which it was in for about 3 months now and put a flywheel and new clutch on. I also painted the engine bay flat black. anyways i put it all back together and everything seems perfect until a turn the key to start and al it does is crank crank crank and wants to turn over so bad and wont. I tried push startin it and still didnt come all the way to life? im just stuck and pissed ive done this stuff for a few years and i dono why it wont go brand new battery plugs wires notin blown ? thanks for the ideas any more ? wen it comes down to it i know its rite there and i just dont see y it wont work. The motor is an obd1 ls motor from a 94 integra

have bolted the ground wires to the fuel injectors? they usually bolt on the thermo housing.

what about all the wiring harness, are they connected? retrace your steps, there is something your're over looking.

chek plug wires, distributor, and plugs again if your sure its getting fuel than it has to be something electrical. starty with the easiest and move on to the more complicated. is it stock or have you recently modified it besides the clutch
