So I have a b18a in a 91 hatch. I keep having the same issue with the starter. It will start fine and in about two weeks nothing. After swapping the start about five time to still end up with the same problem. I have change all the battery post. Ignition switch. check all the grounds. Next thought would be my alternator. also has power every were it is needed.....

 

Could be your main relay.

 

I switch it out.. . You can hear the fuel pump kick on and something else buzz or click...

 

You said nothing about changing your Main Realy out - also your alternator has NOTHING to do with your starter. You said ignition switch - what happens when you try to start it? Starter clicks, nothing, lights dim, ect., ect....

 

took the starter off and jumped with a charger did nothing. the gear comes out but would not turn. Really hard to spin with your hand........ This makes the fourth starter that the car has killed..... what would cause the car to keep killing starters..... It was doing this before swapped the motors out... .and I did change the main relay out...

 

If it's killing your alt, i'd say check the wires connected to it, do a volt drop to them and see what you get.

 

its not killing the alternator. just the starter.....

 

have you changed out the starter power wire that might be the problem.

 

thats funny you ask just went to pull a part and got two... still does the same thing... took the starter to advance had them test it and they said it was good.... I noticed that when i turn the key to start it, the gas gauge goes down till it can move anymore.... And the starter made a loud buzz sound......

 

Sounds like a bad ground.

 

Yea, check your ground. If you must add more grounds to your engine. Did you see in your previous starters if there are alot of buildup such as: oil, particle, etc?

 

I check all the grounds went to pull apart and got another harness off a 91 crx si. also dude at the parts store told me there is a starter relay on top of the hood release under the dash... going out to try and put all this together and see how it turns out.....

 

You said that the harness is an si, is your vehicle si or not? If it's not check your wiring.

 

So I have now got the harness on the car but have ran in to an issue.....The crx si harness has less wires running to the dizzy plug on the drivers side than the stock harness on the car which has more... I think that two or more are for the injectors on the harness on the the car. I am really unsure as to what wire goes where.....hmmm.... any ideas...

 

So the car is now fixed..... It was a starter relay under the dash.... time to drive
