So my brother bought this car about 4 or so months ago and it had some 6 puck clutch that was stiff as hell, then my brother burn that clutch out and dried out the clutch line about a month and a half ago. Meanwhile as the car sat on the curb of my house, his car loss power and it wouldn't start without a jump(idk why it started doing this). So we pushed his car to my friends house to have him change out the clutch. After getting it back and not having any jumper cables, my friend push start it, by rolling it from his garage down his driveway.

Then more problems came up, his speedometer and rpm didn't work and instrument lights were very dim. Then he drove it into the garage and realized that every time he stepped on the brake the car would overheat. So we turned it off. Then we tried push starting it again, but this time nothing. So we push the car to my house and left it in the garage. My friend told me that the starter had probably went out. So the next day I got a starter from auto zone, clean his battery terminals, and checked his fuses. So with the new starter in and jumper cables hooked up nothing happen, not even a crank or click. When i turned the key I don't hear anything, so i thought maybe the relay for the fuel pump was bad. So i checked if the main relay was bad, just took a look at it, none of the connections are crack and all is clean. It still doesn't start and I'm really getting tired of this car.

Car is a 2000 Civic Ex Coupe With a Usdm b16 swap

I have no idea what else could be wrong with it. Can anyone help?

Checked all grounds?
How does the motor run? Smooth, harsh, weird?

 

Which ground should I check? I clean the connections to the battery and connections to the starter, Car still doesn't crank, click, or make any noise

Motor ran smooth when it came on

 

Sounds like a ground issue,check the ground coming from the trans to to frame rail on r/side and make sure they are very clean and tight..also check grounds on thermostat housing to..because Honda's are very picking grounds..hope this helps

 

I do not know the name of the grounds, there should be one from the valve cover to the chassis. One at the starter. And i believe on near the thermostat. But i'm not sure.

 

Also, do you get any power? No radio? DOME light?

 

I feel sooooooo dumb, it was the ground to the tranny, my friend forgot to tighten it back up and I just overlooked it

 

GREAT! I happy for you. Can you take a pic of it so I dont forget it when I do my swap?

 

its like right underneath where the intake box would be for the b series lol
