Ok so today i drove my car it was fine . But then all of a sudden the battery light came on for a quick second then shut off so i didnt think much of it. So parked it for a few hours came back to start it up and now its not turning over.

Weird thing is that when u turn the key to where your cel and battery lights supposed to come on dont show up. Only at times. No start or anything. Everything still has power. Light are fine. Srs/abs ebrake light are all on. Try to start it and it just does nothing but fan kicking.

When the cel and other lights come on u can hear the fuel pump kicking. When not on its just dead silent. Try start it and rpm just jumps and then a ticking sound from the passenger side.

Any susgestions?

If u must know its a ek 4dr with b20vtec set up
Thanks in advance

 

Checked your grounds? fuses?

 

That happen to me and it was the ground on the valve cover

 

Highly doubtful

Typically when the battery light comes on it is alternator related...

 

check your alternator fuse

 

yep I would also have to go with alternator. something similar happened to me and I ended up needing a new battery as well..

best of luck.

 

Ok so today i went back out to start it again. First 3 tries was still the same. Then all of a sudden i tried again all the lights came on and it started..

0_0??

 

I checked all the important fuses. And grounds everything was ok

 

then its your starter...your starter has a short in it. You may very well get a few more starts out of it, but it sounds like its ready to be replaced

 

Alternator was just changed abt last week

 

Really? Would that cause all the lights to be weird like that?

 

yes it would. also cause your battery to be drained if it sits long enough..

 

happened to me last week. I spent the entire week before that outside with a test light trying to figure out my "electrical" problem. turned out, i had a dead short in my starter, 15 minutes to replace it and works like a charm.

 

Nice im going to just do that then. Thanks guys

Also if im buying a starter for the b20v
What do i tell them i need? I need a gsr starter or a crv?
Its original ex harness obd2a

 

I honestly can't remember if the B series starters are all the same or not. I'm thinking a CRV starter pre 2001 is what you're looking for but I'm pretty sure any B series starter will work.

 

Ok ill look more into it

 

you could pull the starter and bench test it before you go buy a new one. soesnt always mean its good but it will give you an idea. also check the voltage on your crank wire for the starter to see if your getting full voltage. good luck

 

Thanks will check that also

 

fam's right.. you would want to test it before you buy. Just remember, even with full voltage TO the starter, doesn't mean there is no short IN the starter. Pull the starter and bench test it first.
