youdestroyme Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 hi i just recently inherited a 1989 honda civic from my uncle. it doesnt run. i got a new battery for it and everything but it still doesnt start. i am not good with cars but i think it is something electrical because whenever i try to jump start it, the power comes on but the car doesnt start. the engines whirs up for a second but dies down. it has 205k miles on it. and i was wondering if anyone have any ideas on what may be the problem... and how to fix it. thanks a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcletten Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 check the plugs first, i had that problem with my 93, it would start and then die, then i foudn out that one of my plugs was loose, replaced them and everything was fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatt mtt Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 YOU SHOULD HAVE A PRESSURE TEST DONE. I HAD A FAULTY IGNITION MODULE I GOT IT REPLACED AND THE CA WRKS FINE NOW. YOU MIGHT ALSO WANT TO CHECK THE DISTRIBUTOR TO. GOOD LUCK FATTEUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedCivic94 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 check your starter and your starter relay . It could be a problem with that or the distributor . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
