Hi guys, I'm a total noob and about to pull out myhair! I have a 2000 Honda Civic Ex sedan. 30,000 miles ago I had a tune up done, Cap, rotor, wires, plugs, the other day I had an oil change done. Drove around 20 miles after the oil change, things were fine. The car has 130,000 miles on it.

I went to start it up yesterday morning and the car would just go chug chug chug really strong but would not start. Today I pulled out all the wires on the cylinder head and tapped them on the head and put them back in, and the car still trys to start but will not turn over. If i keep the key and give it some gas, it almost trys to start but wont catch on, i have a little bit more then 1/4 gas in the car, the battery is good because my head lights come on full blast, no corrosion on the battery. I can not afford to take it anywhere to get it checked out, Im hoping its something easy to fix.

Please Help!

Heather.

 

Check the grounding pts. Chassis to head, to thermostat, and to trans. Make sure you're getting fuel and spark to the plugs.

Good luck!

 

besides check on the ground wires. also check if fuel pump primes, starter clicks, and main relay is good. also all the fuses are good

 

what he said^^^...sounds like a possibly bad realy or blown fuse
