Wassup everyone i have a problem, i have an 1991 INTEGRA LS 5-SPEED, i turned the car on in the morning to warm it up, had the car on for about 10 mins then all of a sudden the car dies out and i tried to start it back up and not even a crank.

-the battery its fully charged
-i hear the fuel pump buzzing
-i check the main relay and i only hear 1 buzz on the main relay when i turn the key on the AC slot (before the ignition start up)
-have gas
-fuses are all good

i hear a little spark on my starter when i try to crank it

i cant pop start it neiter cause its in my driveway facing down
any ideas...

 

Check the starter ground. It can come loose at times.

 

How do you know the battery is fully charged? Have you cleaned the contacts lately?

Might be starter since you are hearing a spark there but no crank. Definitely check ground first as mentioned.

If car died out then wouldn't crank, I am thinking alternator. But you said battery is fully charged, so that would not be it. Is the battery holding a charge of 13.4 volts? And drop to not less than 12 volts when trying to crank?

I am just thinking out loud...good luck getting it going.

 

Battery... cables (corrosion, loose), starter. Cables can be tricky, as they can corrode under the insulation and appear just fine. You can put a voltmeter on the starter to check, and should see 10V or so while cranking.

Battery should show 12.6V when charged and the car is off, and 13.8V (ish) while running, if the battery and alternator are healthy.

Battery is good jus got it fully recharged and where is the starter ground located at? Thanks for the advices guys yet still wont crank

 

check da intake pipes make sure no vacum leak,replace fuel filter.

 

Have you checked to make sure the is spark at the plugs? Pull on out and see if you get arcing. I had a similar problem and it was the distributor. Actualy a solenoid inside the dizzy....

 

how many miles on the engine? i say this just in case your timing belt had snapped. this is a worse case scenario, it could be other things.

 

It should be on top of the starter. Remove the intake and its above the transmission.

 

to the actual person, i may be late, i had this happen to me in an auto matic 92 integra i was driving down a very long hill coasting out of no where my motor died, i tried to start it nothing exact same thing, had batt charged at a shop near where i broke down, not the batt, alt was new, i had car towed to my home and i put a higher cranking amps battwery and it turned over and made a grinding noise, and stopped, i was like WTF? then it finally turned over and ran buti had a hell of a Rod Knock,My engine siezed up... motor could have seized up, from bad headgasket failure, coolant/water in ur engine Oil, no oil, worn out bearings? very worse senerio.... Possible engine seizure... not fun at all....
