so my buddies b16a wont start its in a 94 eg hatch

we turn the key over clicks rapidly and all lights cd player and fuel pump are working just doesnt start. it ran good before we got it but the kid we got it from did the head gasket and it hasnt started since. til we pull start it last night it fired up and idealed but still wont start.

we have checked the
- grounds
- tested the starter 3 times (autozone)
- charge the battery and put a new battery in it

could it be
- dizzy
- ecu
- timing

any help would be great we just want to get this car start and on the road.

thanks for the info and advice!

 

Not a distributor or timing problem. These might stop it from starting, but they wont stop it from turning over at all.

The fact that its clicking means the starter is receiving a signal, but it doesnt have the power to start it.

You tested the battery, but how about the batter terminals? What is the condition of the wire that runs from the battery to the starter?

 

true. yes we have charge his battery and we have put my battery in so yes they are good! battery termerals are stock and shitty but are tight. and the wire to the starter is soild and connected.

 

any insight?

 

cleaned up so gorunds put new terminals on it all we got was one click of the starter.

is it the starter?
power goingg to the start?
or wiring / grounds?

thanks for help its my buddies ride and he wants to get it running

 

well might have figured it out looked over the ecu and wiring and 2 black wiring in connector a are not in place so i think thats it along with a orange wire so hopefully after those are in place my buddy can start his car!
