AllBoost Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 ok so i have basically rebuilt the whole front end of my friends 92 d15 honda civic hatch. when i turn the key the car dosent even try to turn over. starter is not even turning. i am trying to figure out if there is some sort of relay that is the airbags go off it will not let the car start. is there anyway of resetting such a relay. otherwise the car should start with no problems and i cant figure out why it wont even try to turn over. i cant find anything.

cmgogo Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 sounds like a main engine ground to be honest. Is the fuel pump priming? Have you tried to manualy start the car (using a jumper wire on the starter, or push starting it?) Can you hear the main relay engaging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 like cmgogo said main ground. super dead battery, shot starter..or maybe your fuses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I've heard of vehicles having a fuel cutout that is often tripped during an accident. But no fuel doesn't seem to be your problem, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no fuel doesn't seem to be your problem, correct? ok well i didnt listen for the fuel system and i didnt think of that. i will go listen for the pump to prime. everything on the interior lighting comes on but the car simply wont turn over. im going to try and use a jumper cable to the starter and see if that works. but i dont remember the fuel system priming. where is the main ground cable at. i dont remember seeing one under the hood.

Can you hear the main relay engaging? yes i do hear the click of the main relay engaging but the car is not doing anything. i will check the fuse box for any blown fuses but i dont see any of them bad.

Xeryon Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 The ground is right on the top of the engine. It is a cable from the valve cover to the chassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgogo Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 also one from the trans to the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllBoost Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 The ground is right on the top of the engine. It is a cable from the valve cover to the chassis. ok i didnt know that was what your guys reffered to as the main ground. well i def found the problem. i was going to try and put a jumper cable on the starter and and connect it to the battery when i noticed the relay for the start (may have been the ground i dont know) was unplugged. lol plugged it back in and sha blam. started up. you guys are going to have to cut me some slack on hondas. i havn't owned a honda in like 2 years and i had a 99 si so this was a bit out of my knowledge field. i will have a whole build thread posted up soon.
