So I did the timing belt/water pump on my 1998 Civic Lx. Timing marks are all on the spot so far. No leaks. Appears that everything is connected as far as sensors. When I try to crank it, it starts sometimes but very shortly and then shuts off. But most of the time it takes multiple times for it to start. During those attempts the speedo sometimes jumps and hear something clicking from my glove compartment. Any ideas would help. I'm beat so far..

Possibly weak main relay?

That sounds alot like the issue and it's right where I hear it coming from. I'll look into it and let you know what happens after. Thanks for the tip.

Installed the new relay, the flickering stopped and the clicking did too. But still wont turn over. Any other leads?

Ignition switch?
give the starter a smack?
can you bump start it?

I figured it out, the ground connected to where the thermostat goes wasnt grounded properly . Started right up. Thanks for all the help!
