Default car dont start... maybe you got the anwsers for my questions?


basically this is how the morning went

wake up start car (no problems)

drive up the block turn off car go into store

get out of store start car, car cranks cranks but no start

(i think it's main relay at this point) i give it some time 5min i turn the key it starts...

i go back down the block to the post office.. turn car off

come out of P/O turn car on, again crank crank car turns on then dies on me..

i have yet to start the car.. since then


*i went to honda got me a MAIN RELAY (MR)* tried that it wasnt that. . .

*checked for CODES no codes (solid CHECK ENGINE LIGHT)

after that i was pretty much stumped.. i pushed the car down a hill and tried to kick start the bitch.. but nothing either

but after i tried to kick start it NOW IT DONT EVEN CRANK> wtf!! aahhh!! i am having a MECHANIC check it in a few.. i hope it's not the TIMEINGBELT, because i am sure i bent a valve.

but y doesnt it crank anymore?? what would make it just stop like that after a kick start?? the battery is good i tested that ...

any ideas??

There's three things your engine needs to run, fuel, fire, and air. Air is easy enough, seems like you're getting spark (check the spark plugs to be certain), if it's not that, check your fuel lines.

Try push starting it in reverse, it's much easier than 1st gear because of the shorter gear.

If that doesn't work, you're going to have to check your distributor and plugs. If the bettery has charge, the alternator is probably fine too.

what year is your car?? I'm guessing coil or igniter at this point. Mine just recently chunked another igniter (thats only #4 since i've owned it in 4-5 years.)

This is probably not it but it's something to check

Check your dipstick and see if there is oil in there
at the shop I work at we have had a few cars come
in saying there car dosn't start and won't crank. Two
of them had seized motors.
