whats up
90 crx si still got d16a6 in it

started fine, went to school-came back, car doesnt start. no codes
doesnt even crank over.
had to push start it, ran fine, turned it off wouldnt start up.
thought starter was bad, took it to autozone, checked out ok
my lights and radio work fine, i havent tested it yet, but the battery seems fine, fairly new.

i was thinking it could be the igniton switch, or maybe possilby a short in the wiring

just looking for some ideas, if this has happend to anyone?
thanx

i would definitely start with simple stuff. check the battery terminal contacts and also use a multimeter on the battery. check various grounds too.

 

mine did the same thing... turned out the ground on the starter was loose... put it on tight and started right up

 

check the grounds not just for tightness but make sure they are all very clean... take them off and clean them then reconect

 

also check the connection on the brown connector on the passanger side. the one with all the weather goop in it. (starter signal) the wire is black/white

 

yep thanx evryone

checked it earlier in the day, grounds, battery starter, all good.
still the same though.
im wondering about that clutch interlock switch on the clutch pedal, i just picked up my helms a little earlier, ill check it in the morning

 

ok, ill check that out too, i was thinking a posilbe short or something earlier
thanx

 

ok found it.
un top of clutch pedal, theres is blue rubber grommet, just like on the brake pedal/ switch.
if its broke or fell out, car will not start, its needed to push the plunger on the clutch interlock switch, to start the car.
in my case it fell out(deteriated).

solution. 10mm bolt/nut. works perfect.
thanx
