91 honda civic wont start
Idk if this is where i post help questions, i just signed up.
But i have a 91 honda civic with a d16 in it. I had it running for the first time two weeks ago, sputtering on low RPM until i hit about 4k then it was fine. I parked at my friends house and tried to start it but it would not start even after jumping it. I got three friends to push me and i dropped the clutch and she started up. Parked it at my house and it wouldn't start agian. This time it wouldn't crank, and starter would not click. i even tried a new starter and nothing. Today i was working on it and what sounds like my main relay was clicking really fast yet no click in the starter. Any ideas to what it could be?

check the clutch safety switch on the clutch pedal. More specifically, check on the pedal to see if the little plastic stopper piece is still there. That piece pushes the switch and tells the car that it is allowed to crank.
Also today i took my spark plugs out and cranked the engine by hand and gas squirted out of the cylinders. My guess i flooded it by trying to start her up. How can i drain it?
Just leave the spark plugs out and let it evaporate.
Doesn't take too long.
Main relay clicking like a machine gun is usually a ground problem.
Check the grounds at the thermostat housing to see if the wires are in good condition and make sure they are screwed down tight.

Thank's forever ones help, i found the problem and feel pretty stupid it took me this long to figure out something small. My engine ground wire was fucked it was only hanging on by one wire inside the main wire. Got a new wire put it on and it started to crank. My battery wont charge tho but getting a new one monday.
