Are you saying the starter motor is not working, [engine will not crank]?

If so... https://honda-tech.com/forums/tech-m...mp%5d-2961164/ 94

i was meaning I'm not getting nothing at all but all electrical . Everything comes on dash light head light radio ac ect .

I checked the starter today . It's good it was attempting to crank .

Thinking a fuse or reply is shot and I don't know where to start ?

Ecu fuse maybe ?

Still unsure of what you mean???
Turning over and "cranking" mean the same, starter motor is working, [turning engine over]
Starting means engine "fires" and runs.

If you mean engine cranks but does not fire/start/run then you need to find out what is missing, compression, timing, fuel or spark.
Test for spark using an HEI spark tester.
Check for fuel by pulling spark plugs right after trying to start the engine and seeing if the plugs are "wet" with fuel.
Check compression with a compression test.
Check both electrical and mechanical timing.
It is a good bet your missing one of the above. 94

Did you try the bypass jump and the starter circuit test in the link I posted?
The bypass jump will determine if the starter motor or solenoid is the problem.
The other test will narrow down where the problem is, there are a number of places it could be starting with the ign. switch itself, the starter relay, the Clutch Interlock Switch or wiring/connections between them.

Start with the bypass jump, caution, engine will crank even if ign. sw. is off, car is in gear and/or clutch not stepped on, if that starts the engine you can eliminate the starter and solenoid as the problem, move on. 94

So your saying that the bypass jump works, [starts engine], correct.
Are you also saying that testing the starter lead at the starter motor gets you power at that lead when you try and start it?
If so, what is the voltage at that lead, you need a multimeter to test for voltage. if it indicates 12V+ on that lead do the test with it plugged into the starter solenoid.

It makes no sense that a bypass jump works and you have power on the starter lead that that does not crank the engine, only exception is if the voltage on that lead is too low to energize the solenoid. 94
