Hey peeps Im having a lil trouble with my crx...
For some reason it wont start.. seems like if I dont have the clutch in when i try to start it but I DO!!... Or as if it had a kill switch to it... but it actually dosnt... Any Ideas?? Thank U!!

 

are you getting spark? are you getting fuel? is the timing off?

this post is way too vague.

 

It doesn't start or doesn't crank?

 

its your clutch sensor, probb went bad, the go bad on alot of older cars like you have and eg's. its located on top of the clutch pedal there are two wires you can tie them together and it will start or buy a new sensor. there are two sensors one is on the bottom of the clutch pedal and one is up top, its the up top one

 

IDK it doesnt start or crank.. I have the clutch in... key turnd all the way over and nothing..

 

what kind of noises does it make? do you hear your starter engage? do you hear the fuel pump prime?

 

check the main fuses under the hood. do you get any dash lights when you turn the key? cel, seatbelt, door, all those?

 

Are any of your lights working? Make sure your battery terminals are not corroding. If those are ok try tapping the small box next to your hood release cable also known as the main relay. If it starts after that then you need a new main relay(a very common problem with EF's)

 

I do get the start up lights like check engine.. battery.. trunk... etc.. but thats as far as it goes... ... i have no idea wat it might be.. il check for spark next...

 

I mean, if its not cranking dont bother checking spark just yet, as you want to solve your cranking issue as well. What year rex? What motor? Start by checking your battery, maybe your starter connection, fuses. Someone mentioned the clutch sensor

 

its probably the clutch sensor. if you get that fixed, that'll probably fix your problem. there is no way of checking for spark if the motor isn't cranking.

 

Where exactly is the clutch sensor located for My rex?

 

Its on the top of the clutch pedal lever look at it youll see two sensors its the one at the top pull the connector off and use a jumper to test if its your problem

 

Awsome.. Will do.. Thanx for the help Dudes!!

 

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHECKING YOUR GROUNDS FIRST!!

 

hey man i have aD15y7 motor i swap my d15y7 head for a vtec head d16y7 head, i plug every wire, the car runs but no vtec kick, i plug the A4 and D6 cables but dont work, i got the p28 ecu, can you help???

 

start your own thread.

 

if its not cranking its generally going to be either your starter solenoid sticking, or the ignition switch that's failing.

check the trigger wire at the starter that clips on with a spade connector. have someone hold the car in crank while you test that wire with a multimeter or test light. if you see +12v there but no movement from the starter, then the solenoid is bad. replace the starter. if you don't see +12v there then that tells you the signal is never getting past the ignition switch. test the switch to be sure if you'd like, then replace it.

when u turn ur accessories on, and your CEL light comes on, does it go OFF? if not, any codes?

 

presence of codes or a failing relay is irrelevant. he could pull the ecu out of the car, set it on the ground, and the car will still crank.

 

to me it sounds like a starter problem. have you tryed to hit the starter solenoid with a hammer? not verry hard you just need to tap it.
