okay, i got this problem, long story short..a co-worker started my car with a wrong key. So the wrong key got stuck, it took me couple wiggle/jiggle to remove the wrong key. When i finally put in the right key, the car wont start no more. it goes into the on position fine, lights and everything works, i can hear the fuel pump priming, Relay behind the glove department is clicking, Battery is at full charge 12v ish..When i try to crank no sound na da..im leaning towards somewhere around the ignition got messed up while we were trying to remove the wrong..

p.s. the thing was he did started the car with the wrong key but left to go inside the building and when we came out the car was off/non running..key in on position..

Any suggestion?

 

oooops!!

 

It's a 1998 honda civic 3dr dx

 

Could be Volvo. Yeah, I think it's a Volvo.

OP - It's not an ignition problem if the starter won't crank. Have the battery and alternator tested.

 

^^ are you sure? That morning and previous weeks/months car never had a problem. Then all sudden my co-worker out in wrong key and battery and alternator or even starter are dead? What's the chance of that?

But I've tested the battery and my volt is right on!! Although I do have a optima yellow top w/only (I believe) 450 cca

 

About what? That you car has a no-crank problem? Based on your description of the problem, I am absolutely sure, by definition.

That was then, this is now. Things can change without notification.

Huge. Happens all the time without warning.

What was the exact voltage measurement? Post it. Also have the battery load tested.

 

Think about this, wrong key causing the ign to stat in the start position and the engine is running. Jump straight from the battery to the solenoid and see what you get.

 

Thank you RON & Rocky..ended up being the starter. Replaced it and she fired right up..i still don't understand how starter took a dump w/the scenario i had.
