I have a 98 civic dx and after an auto to manual swap it does not want to start. Had a short that would cause the fi e/m fuse to pop, fixed that and now it doesn't want to start. It will start to turn over very weakly and then will click and make a buzzard type sound.

Looking for some help pm me or call/text me at 240 925 8907 for more info...


$50 to the first person that gets my car running right!!!

 

it's the battery man

 

Agreed sounds like the battery man. BTW represent SOMD!!!

 

Yeah I got it tested like three times and even when I try to jump it it does the same...

 

also the radio doesn't work I wonder if there is a correlation between the two

 

bump wanna get this car running

 

check your grounds in the engine bay.

 

there are only like two or three grounds... I even added more in and still no dice

hmm what about the underdash, did you have to change or were you suppose to change any relays, or fuse pinouts? also did the car run before when you had the other problem?

 

have u checked the ACG/IG Fuses and as far as the swap did u switch ecu's and wire up the sensor on the clutch pedal

also check if any wires are shorting/touching hence ur radio is also out now

 

Yeah the car ran, but ran like **** because I hadn't hooked up the new IACV. As far as under dash I did and always have connected those wires. I fixed the radio, I had popped a underdash fuse for it. I hooked up the starter again after having it tested (fine) and still no go. It sounds like a dead battery when you crank it, however even with an instant boost jumper nothing.

What if I added a big ground between the tranny and the starter? Would that make a difference? I have tested the battery and it worked and the starter and its fine so the problem has to be elsewhere
