thanks in advanced

post this on http://www.honda-forum.com there is some one there that can help you no doubt.

Do you have lights? Your battery may be totally drained to the point of no return. Get a new battery and see if that helps. If not then the starter might be dead.

when you say doesn't start we need more info.

you turn the key and nothing happens?

or does it turn over but not start?

etc.

Wayyyy to vague to give an answer.

hold the horn down and try to crank it if the horn stops as your trying to crank it the battery is dead... if your turning the key (with horn down or not) and lights come on inside and stereo works then its probly an alternator

woot i miss my crx =(.. yea just give us some more info.

sorry for the lack of information but im new in cars so i dont know how to explain it with lots of details.
well, horn, lights works fine. battery is almost new...could be the ****ing starter? if it is how much does it cost?

lights are working fine..
when i turn the key 3 red signs are on: motor sign,an !and P sign, oil sign. and a yellow engine sign turns on and then off. so only motor sign,an !and P sign, oil sign stays on...whats the proble,m?

I had a 89 crx SI

I had this problem
If you have an old starter
It can develope a oxidized grove on the plates
And if the car stops on that groove the car will not start.

You'll have to push start the car if you have a stick.

I had to take it apart and sand conductor plates until the oxidation was gone.
I did this twice and then finally bought a new starter.

good luck

not enough info..... when you turn the key is there complete silence , a sound of something clicking (every few seconds), the sound a car normally makes when its starting, or does it make that noise only reallllllly reallllly slow

its so hard to find a CRX in good condition =(...

:_doh: :_doh: :_doh:
If you don't really know, don't post! Sorry but I'm tired of peoplr posting wrong info! nothing personal

actually the horn thing works although i may have it backwards and buddy.and if your going to say it doesnt then explain why my father a mechanic of almost 40 years says that works and why its worked before.

Yes your father is right, the horn (or lights) thing will work! The shit about an alternator was not from him?
O ya,My first street car was a 54 Ford and it wasn't very old! :moon:
NHRA record holder 64-67-69! :2pimp:

man you guys are going at it like red sox and yankee fans

Don't nox sox! heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Funny how Yankee fans are in NY and yankees root for the Red Sox!

u got me there.... wasnt thinking so much as typing.......... wheres the old car thingy comin from?

i am from boston...... although not too confident about them this year... and dont like baseball

makes no sound...only turns on the light...by the way the weather is -40 now...

its the battery, especially in that weather. -40 f HOLY CRAP. i just learned alot about batterys insides in school but forgot cus teacher sux... anyways its got sumthin to do with chemical reactions and stuff i think.
your gonna have to buy a new one

battery is new,......

wow man.. -40 degree's........ holy crap

Read my sig!

ya i would say if the car is parked outside an it is that cold your &^%* you could try to get inside an let things thaw out. is there snow all over everything under the hood? I say get it inside thaw it out an then start to troubleshoot. :shrug:

i dont have a garage...i always keep the snow removed...so there is no snow on the car.

that cold weather can really screw with a battery.... id get it checked out by autozone or w/e b4 u buy a new one because they to a battery test free

yeah my friend and i found out its the battery. he told me its not fully recharged..so hes gonna drive it on the highway to have it fully recharged..thats what he says.

rep points maybe........
