I was leaving school today and my car wouldnt start, the radio and headlights work fine, it wouldnt crank and there was no clicking sound from the starter (could hear fuel pump). So hooked a jump box to the starter and it started spinning but it wasnt cranking the motor. I got a friend to help me push start it and it started up fine.

 

oh and i tried to jump start the battery also and it did the same thing. so I think the battery is okay.

 

Check the safety starter switch and rubber stopper that it presses on at the top of the clutch pedal.

 

yea i looked underneath and it looked like it was pushing that metal rod thing in. i found a little piece of rubber on my floor mat and it looked sort of like an arrow tip?

 

ok i found the clutch safety switch at the very top but i dont see anywhere a rubber peice would go?


its number 2 in the picture

 

When the pedal is pressed down, the rubber stopper (red arrow) should push the switch closed.

 

or poor grounds can lead to this problem ont he motor. check your tranny ground to the frame and the one on your valve cover

 

that was it!! do you know where i can order that piece of rubber?

 

Call your local Honda dealer.

 

im going to try and find it online, thanks for all your help.

 

Majestic Honda likely has it, but you'll pay way more for the shipping and handling than for the part itself.

how do you bypass/disable the clutch safety switch ?

 

I would imaging you would just pull the 2 wires off the switch and splice them together. All the clutch safety switch does is bridge the connection between those 2 wires.

You should probably start a new thread for something like this instead of reviving a 3 year old thread though.

 

It was actually the clutch safety switch! It wasn't touching the switch at all when clutch was pushed in! All I had to do was loosen the nut on the switch and tight the switch to make it go in further so I can be pressed in when clutch is engaged! After they it start fine now!

 

You splice the two wires, ( ground them out )
