Default starter probs

Alright here is the problem. The starter is turning but it wont crank the motor over. Any ideas. I checked the fuel lines to make sure its getting fuel and I checked the fuel pressure. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanx

What do you mean by not cranking it over?

If its not turning the motor....something is fucked wiht the flywheel / starter teeth engagement.

If you mean its turning the engine and its not starting and you have fuel pressure, check for spark.

Pull one of the plug wires, install a spare plug in it and ground the outside of the plug, have a buddy crank tha car and look for a spark...if you dont have one, its porbably the ignitor.

i have the same prob but on a teg. for me, sometimes it starts, sometimes it won't even crank.. no clicking noise either. and other times, it'll crank slowly. batttery is ok too. i had my friend who works @ honda come and look at it and he said i might have a problem with something called the neutral safety switch.
ima go take my car in to get everything checked.. but in my opinion..i think it's either the starter or the neutral safetly switch...

does your car start sometimes? or not at all? if it's sometimes.. then i think you might have the same problem as i do.

you'll only have a newtral safety switch if its automatic, standards have a clutch switch.

The problem is most likely the starter in your case tho. I had teh same problem with my teg, changed the starter...works fine now....sometimes it takes a second before the starter starts to turn when I trun the key....but I dont care about taht yet, as long as it allways starts.
