    1992 honda civic won't turn over
    Please help.
    I have a 1992 honda civic dx that won't start.
    It has a 1.5 Liter, manual tranny, no A.C. super basic, over 200,000 miles.
    Today when I got into the car it wouldn't start the first time I turned the key (the engine did not turn over). I turned the key again, the engine turned over, and it started. It did this one or two more times, now nothing. I hear a click in the distributor (which was changed about a year ago), and at the starter when the key is turned. I tried to jump it with a friend to no avail. I pulled the battery and the starter, both tested fine. The engine still doesn't turn when the key is turned. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I would remove and fully charge/replace the battery. Don't jump your Honda--you run a fairly high risk of a voltage spike damaging the ECM, alternator, or sensors.

    Carburetor cleaner can help. Shoot some into the intake and try to start your car. If it works, then you have a fuel problem.
