i have a 92 hatch with a single cam v-tec motor.......my car was sitting for a couple of months before i turned it on again......so i finally turned it on, the car was runing good....i let my friend drive it.....once he got it in....hes barely learning stick....the car turned off on him...i tried to turn it back on but the car would not start.....when i turn the ignition theres no power going through.....i borrowed my friends battery of his car thinking it was that...but theres still no power going through.... what can it be?

 

Are the terminal wires clean and tight? Also check were the wires connect at the other end and make sure there clean and tight and check the ground strap.

 

terminal wires? im fairly new to this...lol....um those are the wires that connect to the battery right?

 

what is the ground strap?

 

When you turn the key to ON(II), do the dash warning light come on?

When you turn the light switch on, do the headlight come on at normal intensity?

 

no those do not come on either!

 

Pull the battery out and have it tested at an auto parts store. Replace if necessary.

In the meantime, clean the battery connectors and the battery ground connection in the engine bay.

 

yeah i want to do that......however i tried it with my freinds working battery and there was still nothing

 

Check the 80A fuse under the hood.

 

the battery ground connection..............what is this?

 

ill check the phuse then.....thanks

 

The large black wire coming from the battery ground terminal. It attaches to the body frame and is G1 in the diagram:

 

thanks for that diagram will hepl a lot

 

would it help if i just replace the battery cables?

 

Make sure that the battery currently in the car is fully charged.

 

Are they damaged? If not, just clean the terminals and ground wire to expose shiny metal, check the fuses under the hood, reinstall a fully charged battery, and go from there.

 

alright thanks man
