Yesterday after work my civic drove home fine with no problems,then this morning I tried to start her up and there is no response at all,what can cause this all of a sudden?


Btw,All my maintenance is all up to date

Timing Belt
Timing Tensioner
Camshaft Seal
Front main Seal
Water Pump
A/C Belt
Alternator Belt
Power Steering Belt
Main Relay
Cooling Temp Switch
Cooling Fan Relay
Oil Pan Gasket
PCV Valve
Thermostat & Gasket
Battery

 

Give more precise details.

Does the engine start and run?

Are you saying the engine has lost power?

Any CEL codes?

 

The car doesen't crank over at all and no CEL either,just happend out of the blue also,what do you think it is Ron?

 

The starter motor does not crank the engine?

 

no, the starter isnt cranking the engine over,could it be a bad starter?Should I tap the starter to see if it engages?

 

Is the battery dead? Do you have a multimeter?

Has the rubber stopper at the top of the clutch pedal fallen out?

 

Battery is new,but I can swap a battery and see what happens,I'll check if the rubber stopper has fallen out,is there a temporary thing i can do if the rubber stopper is missing?

 

Measuring voltage from the battery is easier than swapping in a new one.

Hot glue coil over hole where switch presses.

 

hold down the clutch switch and crank the car.

 

Just tested out my battery with a battery tester & tested out at 520 CCA,both rubber stopper still intact?Should I scuff up the terminals with a battery scuffer and see what happens?

 

Have a buddy hold the key in ON(III) while you measure voltage at the starter solenoid. Also measure voltage at the large starter motor bolt with the key off.

 

is the main relay clicking?

 

The main relay has nothing to do with the starter. It could be removed and the starter would still crank the engine.

 

Maybe a bad starter(tap it), Check battery connections, Fuse, Starter connections...

 

Still no luck with my problem,bought a new starter also and it didn't help.I notice when I have the key in the ignition on the on position the battery & oil light seem to be dim,what can that be?

 

Why do you choose the time-consuming and expensive strategy of guessing and replacing parts? Start voltage and Ohm testing.

 

What should I test out and what do you think is causing the lights to dim?

 

Read posts in your thread.

 

were can I get a good multimeter at?

 

Sears, Walmart, auto parts stores, Harbor Freight Tools, etc.
