Please help.
I have a 1992 honda civic dx that won't start.
It has a 1.5 Liter, manual tranny, no A.C., super basic, over 200,000 miles.
Today when I got into the car it wouldn't start the first time I turned the key (the engine did not turn over). I turned the key again, the engine turned over, and it started. It did this one or two more times, now nothing. I hear a click in the distributor (which was changed about a year ago), and at the starter when the key is turned. I tried to jump it with a friend to no avail. I pulled the battery and the starter, both tested fine. The engine still doesn't turn when the key is turned. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

 

i was hoping that somene would shed some light.. as i have this problem... ofcourse i just changed the clutch.. which means I have to make sure all my connection are good..

 

Test the fuses with a meter or test light and check the starter relay, starter cut off relay(s), main relay and the clutch pedal/starter interlock switch.

 

^^^^ do this then check ALL your grounds

 

The grounds can be checked quickly, so go with Dizzy's suggestion first. Get a meter, set it to resistance and make sure the battery negative post and connector are clean and tight. Wedge the black probe into the battery negative post and touch bare metal on the parts the ground wires connect to with the red probe. For example, start by testing the battery ground strap by touching the red probe to bare metal on the body piece that the strap connects to. Zero resistance means a strong ground. Anything higher when the red probe has good contact with the metal means resistance in the ground connection. Test the valve cover, thermostat/tranny and starter grounds as well.
