ok ill check into that thanks! anything else i should check guys? the fuel pump primes so i dont belive its that...

 

Try the neutral safety switch under the dash. You'll know if its bad when you put a paper clip, wire etc. in the two prong connector put the clutch in and start it. If that's the problem of course...

 

The PGM-FI Main Relay has nothing to do with the starter.

The CIS, [clutch interlock switch] may, there is no neutral safety switch in a 5 speed.

Try a bypass jump...

It will tell you if it is a starter problem or something else.94

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't the two prevent the same thing. Starting the car in gear.

 

Aka starter cut relay

 

Techanacly yes and no, the NSS only allows car to be started when in park or neutral, a CIS allows car to be in gear and still be able to start the car, semantics maybe, but there is enough "misinformation", [albeit not intentional] that clearification can't hurt.

Although the do kind of the same thing, the starter circuits on autos and 5 speeds are differant, with differant problems and symptoms, other then the obvious, engine will not crank. 94

 

okay so i just talked to my unlce and he said theres a plastic groument that goes under the pedal and it hits the clutch pressure switch everytime you push the clutch in and as long as that piece isnt there the car wont start and i looked on my floor board and i notice theres a broken plastic groument layin down there could this be it? and if so how do i go about fixing it? wheres the clutch pressure switch?

 

It's at the very top of the clutch pedal, #18...

A bit of a pain to get to, you need to plug the hole the "stop" was in, youcan get the part from Honda or plug it with anything, I have superglued pennies over the hole. 94

 

Thank you for the new found knowledge, Sir. As for yelnats good luck.

 

okay ima figure it out today. thanks alot fcm youve been a real big help!

 

i just went and looked and i seen at the top of the clutch assembly that there was a broken plastic peice,heres some pics i took so everybody can get an understanding,
heres the broken peices
heres where they came from if you look closely you can see the gap between the screw and the clutch pedal. is there suppose to be something there?

 

my boyfriend recently had a problem with his 99 integra not starting. he went over everything and it happened the be the cap and rotor, the metal connection was actually burnt in a spot. duno if that helps you!

 

I had this happen it was the cap and rotor for me as well
