Im about ready to give up completely and part out the car...ok heres the problem...my car was running fine about last tuesday when i went out...the car sat for about 40 minutes and i got in to go to a friends house...when i got in the car didnt start...starter didnt click at all...immediately assumed it was rthe starter so i had bought a new one at my local autozone...we checked the battery to c if it was giving power to the starter and it was but just in case i had the battery being jumped just in case...i tried again but i just got the same results as before...no start and no click...main relay was testedd on another car and started it...fuel pump whines as it should...computer was swapped and still nothing...ignition was checked and its fine...the clutch sensor was checked and its fine...everything as power but i still dont have even a damn click...what r my last options?...only thing i havent checked is the distributor but that wouldnt cause the starter to not click...please help i really need my car

edit: i just push start the car and it started and ran fine however i turned it off anad it didnt wanna start again...wtf?...would be the problem?

do you have an alarm on your car?

the car did have an alarm but it was taken out iun hopes of solving the problem...i have another alarm so i didnt hesitate to trash my old one

 

hmmmmm main relay maybe fuel pump cutout?

 

make sure the starter kill is off on the alarm. my friends hatch done this and thats exactly what was wrong with his car. (after i put a starter on it )

 

the alarm was completely removed from the car...heres a list of all that was done

battery-new
starter-new
main relay-tested/good
fuel pump-tested/good
computer-tested/good
ignition switch-replaced

the wierd thing is the starter has power but it doesnt click...i started it and tested if i is gettin power during the initial start and it has current...when i push start the car it turns on but i cant start it from a dead stop ?????????????

 

is your altenator thats not charging.and possibly keep draining the new battery.

the battery has been changed with my s2000 battery and still no luck

 

Check your Grounds... if you want add a 8gauge or bigger wire from a valve cover screw and ground to frame... see if that helps..

 

Does the car start and run fine for about a minute?
If so, I would narrow it down to alternator and/or ignition wires themselves.
Other possibilities could be grounds, timing belt slipping, oil pump, dizzy(ignition coil ohm rating out of spec), and ECU.

 

check the distributor.

 

hondas...!

 

Did you reconnect your starter kill wire (big black wire with white strip) under the dash when you removed your alarm? If still no go, check the ground on the starter,turn the key to ignition II, and jump 12volt to the control wire ( the smaller wire w/a female connector) on the starter. That should fire right up. Make sure the car is in Neutral.

 

finally got it goin...and the problem was the starter cuy relay...the blue wire wasnt sendin current thru to the starter...so i ran a wire to a ground and it fired right up!...this is just a quick solution until u buy the actual relay
