drove to church today no problems got ready to leave wouldnt start. I figure maybe its out of gas so I add 1 gallon of gas and it still wont start.

 

check the starter or distributor

 

Is it all the way in park?

 

its a manual transmission

 

Gonna need some more info dude... Does it turn over just not catch..?? How up to date are u on plugs, wires, cap, rotor..?? Is the starter-wire connected since they sometimes pop off after a lil rough driving..?? Did you check your fuses and/or ignition switch harness..?? Could be about 20 diff things i'm just tryna give ya the shake down so we can see wassup...

Feel honored to have been blessed with my 100th post also lol...

 

OK found out the plugs were bad they were so old Moses probably helped install them. So had all 4 plugs replaced w/premium bosch plugs...now its overheating. Tried bleeding the system, no luck. The upper hose gets hot not lower. Previously replaced rad, & cap, & therm this wasn't happening prior to replacing plugs. FYI I got this car 94 civic dx from my brother who did little or no maintenance. Don't want u guys to think I'm a total idiot.

 

does it leak coolant at all..??

 

No it doesnt leak coolant
I noticed this morning the top to overflow was very loose
I tightened it prior to bleeding system, still runs hot.

 

do u have any idle issues??

thats your problem right there

 

no idle issues

 

whats my problem?

 

try a new thermostat first, and if that doesn't work, try a radiator flush.. could be clogged up possibly..

 

already has new therm
will try flush...thnx

 

Yeah i'd definitely try the radiator flush than, ya never know when that things gettin clogged up, and if u live in a semi-warm environment and your lower radiator hose isnt getting hot, than either A. Thermostat is busted B. Radiator is busted or C. Its like 5 degrees out where u live and ur thermostat serves no purpose lol....

 

I did the flush and so far so good
thanks for your help
