hey guys so i gotta problem with my 99 ek coupe at times it jus doesnt wanna crank over at all
its stick when it drives shifting is fine so i figure it cant be the clutch but
some one told me its probably the clutch cuz it doesnt wanna crank at times so they figure its the clutch not graving if u no ne thing else or a reason y the cars not turning over id appriciate it n the battery doesnt die out or nothn so the alternator is working keepn charge i dont hav any ground issues so im lost on what it might be
thanxs

 

Are you saying that the starter motor cranks the engine just fine but the engine won't fire up and run?

If so:

1) Listen for whether the fuel pump primes (low humming noise in rear) for 2 seconds when you turn the key to ON(II).

2) Check whether, when you turn the key to ON(II), the CEL turns ON and then OFF after 2 seconds. Or does it instead stay ON?

3) Check for spark at each plug. Disconnect a plug wire from a plug and insert a spare plug into the end of the wire. With the plug threads grounded on the valve cover, have your buddy crank the engine. You should see bright bluish spark (not weak orangish spark) at the tip of the plug.

 

i raised it on the car lift after i posted it n discoverd the person i bought it off of was messn around with the car cuz the starter was begining to fall off n its all micky mouse screws holding it too its a mess had to retread the holes
but yea
i found out lotta stuff to lik the compressr for the a/c is gone n theres no wires connecting to slots there should be connection to so yea i jus hav to play with it but thank u i found out my problem

anothr question i guess ill ask
soo at skool we got this 02 honda ex sedan sohc vtec d17 i was wondering cuz its automatic there lettn me tak it off there hands im askn if that block would work on my 91 si tranny or wat would i need to swap it into my 91 hatch

I'd stay away from the D17 platform. It's the redheaded stepchild of the Honda engine family.
