Ingnition problem - 2000 Honda Civic Ex
Asked Feb 3, 2005, 06:57 PM

1 Answer Experiencing start up problem: Start up with a "Ruhn Ruhn" sound at the initiation of ignition. Eventually it would turn over. Tonight it did not start. The scenario began with the same sounds (above) ... And then the attempt at ignition weakened to a "click click" sound. In my past experience with cars - that was descriptive of a battery failure. And the solenoid et al were still receiving low voltage. This is a used car and I don't know any prior history. I.e. I have surfed the net and understand that an engine starter recall was issued a few years ago. I am uncertain if this vehicle was included in that recall. Any suggestions - how to repair? OR other resources to check? |

| Try jumping it. If it starts, likely the battery is the problem. If not, try shorting the selonid terminals. Be very careful. Lay the blade of a screwdriver on the starter terminal, and maintaining contact, piviot the screwdriver to contact the battery cable terminal. If it turns over, likely the solinoid is bad. If the battery is known to be good, and it doesn't turn over, likely the starter is bad. You can also try jumping it directly to the starter. Either way, make sure manual transmissions are out of gear. You are bypassing thesafty interlocks. The dealer or Honda website should be able to sort out which models were recalled. The dealer shold be able to check if your car was already repaired. | ||||
