Hey i have a 95 civic ex 5sp. It has a d16z6. I drove the car every day and everything seemed to be fine. Then one day it just wouldn't start. The starter doesnt crank or click or anything. The car runs perfectly if i push start it so i thought it was the starter. I put in a new one and still nothing. Please help!!!

 

signs point to igntion switch !!

 

MAIN RELAY
If its a really hot day. it will affect a bad old main relay.

 

true. except if it was the main relay it would still crank. op said his car doesn't crank at all.

 

not main relay or ignition switch. also i tried running a wire straight from the battery and it just clicks alot. Any ideas??

 

check your fueses in the engine and in the car thats what happend to me i changed them and boom its started right up

 

The Main Relay will click three times during the starting process. When problems arise, one of those clicks (usually the third) is missing. If you consistently hear/feel all three clicks, the Relay is fine. DO NOT REPLACE IT.
Turn ignition to ON (but not to START): Click 1
Check Engine light goes off: Click 2
You now turn the key to START: Click 3

checked your starter and power/grounds to it?

 

sounds like your starter or a dying battery to me.

 

Check your clutch pedal switch. Often, the insert on the clutch pedal can fall out and cause a no-crank situation.

If the clutch switch is operating properly, I suspect you may have a bad battery or a bad ignition switch contact assembly. You may also have gotten a faulty remanufactured starter.

A main relay problem won't cause a no-crank, so ignore anyone who tells you to check that.

 

already checked the fuses. And it is a good starter i had it tested before i put it in. Not a bad battery either i tried jumping it.

 

so you checked the cluster interlock switch then or no?

 

Whats the cluster interlock switch? And yesterday i was taking out my throttle cable and now when the key is to on the fuel pump doesnt turn on and the only lights that turn on in the dash are the brake and seatbelt ones? anyone know what happened?

 

Sometimes a dead battery will prevent a jump start. Is the battery dead? Have you tested it?

 

make sure the starter ground wire is tight and dry. my car does this every day. my ground wire for my starter is a lil loose but i dont have tools rite now. lol if i move it around it will start. but when it doesnt work it clicks alot.

 

There's no specific starter ground wire. The two wires attached to the starter are power wires. The starter grounds through the G3 engine-transmission ground wire.

 

check you clutch switch on your clutch paddle..the switch might to dead or loose..
