yesterday im driving my car everything is fine...but it was missing at mid range rpms..so i thought maybe that my plugs were gapped to much..so i re-gapped them at .40 and driving and everything seemed fine...so this morning i go out and start my car and it wont start!!!!

its getting fuel, when i turn the key and push in on the clutch all i hear is a click noise...could it be spark plugs..wires...how can i check to see if im getting a spark..
the car is a 95 integra gsr b18c1
also im not throwing any codes

click noise sounds like very weak battery ...

040" gap is too big for boost, bring it down to 30 or 32"

check battery and fuses

 

pull out a plug/wire, start the car, see if it sparks...
if it doesn't... check distributor, coil, ignitor...
if it does... scratch your head

 

check the battery connections and check for excessive negative terminal deposits. This happens to me all the time and occurs when you drive the car only short distances without letting the battery fully recharge after starting the car. Use some baking soda in water or some coca cola to get rid of the deposits. Use a wire bar b que brush if you need to. I got some stuff in an aerosol can that dissolves it away fast ... got it from auto zone, they left it outside on accident, their mistake.

 

its your battery
if you clean it and it dosent work
take it to autozone/checker they will test it for free.

 

ok ...after numerous time of turning the key my car starts..
i dont knwo..you guys sure its the battery..when i turn the key and push in the clutch ...it makes on click...and thats it..the radio comes on..all the lights work..even the battery light on the dash is on when icrank the car...oh well imma check it out tomorrow..to much rain today.

 

If there's a click, it means that your solenoid is working.. Just because it's working doesn't mean the battery is providing enough amperage for the starter..

 

cool. makes sense
