Respected
Hey, so I have this civic...
Bought it off a guy who swapped the engine with a b18b sporting a ys1. It was also converted from auto to manual...
A lot of wires going nowhere and most just electical taped. No reverse lights, engine fan is always on, clutch saftey switch wired to always be engaged, water leaking inside cabin floor when it rains, transmission is on its way out, 0% rear brakes left = no parking brake, and so on.
I have done a lot to this car so far to keep it on the road, it's been a project and a half.
Don't get me wrong, I love the car and have learn't so much from it. But now i'm having this issue, no crank, sometimes... only when i need it of course.
The battery is about one year old, was run dry from leaving headlights on for 8 hours but has since been fully charged, and checked for voltage.
I have replaced (with an old set) and cleaned the ignition tumbler and ignition switch. Took apart and cleaned starter, looked alright. Getting power to starter and grounds are good. Tested voltage to starter switch while starting the car and got nothing.
This was all last night, no start in the morning (parked in a garage), started up fine when i got home...
Any ideas? Bad wiring? Bad starter? Bad battery? Contemplating just parting it out, I need a reliable car for work.
Thanks.
