Need help car wont start or turn over
I have a 88 crx dx and it wont start or turn over. I replaced the starter because i thought that could be it but that wasnt it. All that happens when i turn the key is all my gauges and my fuel pump cuts on like its supposed to but it wont start or turnover. Could anyone tell me wut could be the problem.

So it cranks?? If not then jump the solenoid, also test the ignition switch. If It cranks but dosent start, check the main relay, along with the dist for spark etc....if so check fuel pressure at the rail.

the same thing happened to me a couple of days ago in my integ and all it came out being was a broken connector on the solenoid.

Re: Need help car wont start or turn over
Did you put the starter on yourself? If so, when you tightened the battery cable to the starter were you careful not to overtighten? I replaced mine awhile back and did that, it turned the entire post and wouldn't work till I turned the whole thing back about a 1/8 of a turn. Only other thing I would suggest would be to check the fuse under the hood for the starter and making sure the plug in the starter is fully seated.
