Default help My car wont start ,97civic b20 turbo

I have a 1997 civic ex with a b20 turbo engine, it doesn't start all of the time actually most of the time I have changed the spark plugs and battery but that didn't help, i got it started once by popping the clutch but that no longer works either. I will pay someone if they get it started i live in Chesapeake...........................Thanks -Tiffany

When you turn the key does the engine turn over or does nothing happen?

well its not the starter, either spark or fuel. get someone to check for those 2 things.

I would and all, but since you dont wanna post pics, I dont wanna risk getting eaten alive.

+1 you check if youre getting spark from the distributor? take the spark plug wires (side closest to spark pugs) out while turning the motor over and hold the tip to something metal (screw driver,bolt on motor etc) and see if it sparks

Try pumping the clutch a couple times before starting it. My boy has a 92 and his neutral safety switch wont engage unless he pumps the clutch a few times. try it.
