Car won't start
So this is stupid. I have a 91 civic si with a b16 in it.
I went out to start it up and the starter got stuck on somehow. I took the key out and it kept on turning over. Long story short, it actually snapped the starter off of the tranny..
So I threw a different starter on there and it still won't start.. It will crank and spudder.. crank and spudder.. crank and spudder... but just won't go. I threw some heet in the gas just for the heck of it but that didn't help any. Any ideas?
