I just bout a 1994 Civic EX 1.6 Sohc with 130,000 miles 5 Speed for $800. Guy told me it needed a new started I popped the clutch to get it started and brought it to my friends to start fixing the car. Find out that it seems he put the wrong starter and the cam wasnt reaching the fly wheel so we find the longer peice flywheel. Guy tolds us it most likely the car orginally fron Cali if it needs this type of starter. Put it in still isnt starting. the teeth on the fly wheel appear it find wit no teeth missing at all. We cant figure out WTF is wrong with it. would anyone have any helpful suggestion????????

 

Check the starter solaniod or flywheel again.</P><edited><editID>ntxmotorsports</editID><editDate>38127.2256134259</editDate></edited>

 

I don't understand your description too well, but common starter problems include.
A damaged or incorrect starter can damage the ring gear on the flywheel as well. Look at the ring gear on the flywheel and check the teeth for any sign of damage, unusual or excessive wear. Also, insure you are using the correct starter for the vehicle, and insure the starter is recieving enough juice to properly close the solenoid, which pulls the yoke, which slides the starter pinion forward to mesh with the ring gear.
