the engine wont start i need help !!!
everything is working fine and it sound like its about to start
but it just wont start.
i dont know how to put that but hopefully that described my situation

oh btw i let my cousin drive, he stalled alot. did that have something to do with it ?!

HELP !!!

 

Did he go off and unplug something ? If not then it shouldn't have anything to do with it .

Have you checked your battery ?
Starter ?
Made sure your spark plug wires were pushed in all the way ?

Just a few simple things to check before you start freaking out

 

he didnt unplug nothing
my battery seems to be working fine
sorry but how do u check the starter?!
and I'll check the spark plug wires today !!!
anything else bro?

thanks a ton !!!!

 

Sounds like it's turning over, but not firing.
Do you have gas?
Do you have spark?
Do you have compression?
Do you have any CELs?

Don't let people drive your car, especially if they can't drive stick. The clunk of the engine stopping might have knocked a wire loose somewhere.

Did it start after it was stalled, or did it stall and that was it?

 

it has gas
how do i check for a spark
and for the compression?
he stalled a couple times [pretty hard]
soo maybe he might of knocked something loose
any ideas???

 

Battery or starter !

 

my bet is on the starter !!!
but how do you check for that ???

 

Have someone hit the starter w/ a hammer while u try to start it !

Its an old trick - Maybe u can take a video to help us better understand as to what it is doing !

 

yeah umm ill get a video up soon !!!
the car cranks i guess
but just isnt firing up
iono if that makes sense?!

 

allright i got a video

It is not the battery or starter.
I meant check the spark plugs for gas.
And to check for spark... (have someone knowlegable help you or you will shock yourself) ...hold the plug to ground while starting the car and watch for spark.

 

will do
do you think a fuse may be a reason???

Could be possible.. I'd start with checking all the fuses under the hood and under the dash

 

yeah !!!!
has anyone heard of a mk4 supra fan on a koyo radiator
put on a gsr ???

 

could be the coil pack or the dizzy in general sounds like ur not getting spark

 

if it is
what should i do ?

 

Is that an early 90's model?

My old Accord used to do that when the battery needed replacement.

Could be a fuse, or starter.

When did you last replace the sparkplugs/wires? They could be shot if they are real old.

 

my guess... the spark plugs

 

its a 95 honda civic
with a 94 gsr
and the wires should still be new

 

ima check that too
aye bro know any good shops in sd???
