Default 1995 Honda Del Sol 1.6 A/T wont start

Good evening Honda enthusiasts!

I'm running into a recent problem with my vehicle, I bought it about 2 weeks ago, and 1 week ago it decided not to start at all. Symptoms:
  • No turn over, however, I think I hear the starter trying to engage.
  • Replaced starter (Old and new one have been checked, they're both fine)
  • Fuel pump does prime.
  • Battery has been checked and charged.
  • Starter Relay Replaced.
  • Fuel Relay / Main Relay Replaced
  • Checked Starter battery wire and spade connector (both came up for 12v+)
  • I checked the two main grounds going to the engine block, they're fine. As well as the ground coming from the battery to the chassis.
  • I checked all of the fuses under hood and under the dash.
I even tried jump starting the starter, but nothing works. The starter engages but is not able to turn the flywheel. Any suggestions?

Thank you all!

Bump! Any feedback is appreciated. I just replaced the Starter Relay, no crank still.

PGFMI relay under the dash under/behind the underdash fuse box. That tends to go bad.

You should still have cranking if the main relay was bad.. If your Not getting any power, have you checked the fuse under the hood for the Battery/ign.. 50amp fuse.?? Also all other fuses that possibly contribute to the problem? Is the ground cable from your battery to chassis in poor cond. (green/frayed exposed wires)? Is it making good clean contact to bare metal?
If your dash lights are working then your Battery fuse would be OK, does the shift selector show its in park on the dash?

Thanks for you reply. I've checked all of the fuses, including engine bay and under the dash, all of them are good. The two main grounds I used bigger wire for, I've tested those and they're good. I believe the shift selector showed the car was in park. I also checked the plastic around the ignition switch, and the plastic is fine, not melting.

get a remote starter switch and see if the engine will crank. if not, you have a weak battery, a weak starter or a bad ground. did you wire-brush and lightly oil your grounds then tighten well? is your battery putting out enough cranking amps? sometimes they will have 13v but not enough cranking amps.
