Honda Civic 1995 Won't Start
For the first time in 8 years, my Honda 1995 Civic EX disappointed me.
It won't start.
Here are the signs:
1) All electrical components work (radio, lights, dashboard, air
conditioning, etc...)
2) I do not hear the clicks as I turn the key.
3) It won't take a jump.
4) It will not crank.
5) It had been sitting for two days, which is typical.
I'm not a mechanic, but to me all signs do not point to the battery
because everything comes on.
Any idea? What could be the problem?
Thanks, well in advance...

Re: Honda Civic 1995 Won't Start
Never know..how many miles? 8 years, that is about due for a timing
belt. But usually the motor will at least crank even it you have a
broken timing belt.... Do you have a factory alarm or aftermarket
alarm with starter kill?

Re: Honda Civic 1995 Won't Start
If you are not hearing clicking when you are turning the key, the it
sounds like possibly a starter kill. Because even when a battery is
all the way dead you will hear clicking. With a starter kill you turn
the key and eveything "pauses"... Let me know what you find.
