    1995 Honda Civic Won't Start
    The solenoid is not clicking when you turn the key but the starter is reading 12 volts.

    While the negative battery cable is disconnected, clean starter motor and starter solenoid connections. Apply silicone dielectric grease, when finished. Make sure all connections are secure. When installing the starter cable, make sure that the crimped side of the ring terminal is facing out. Reconnect the negative battery terminal last.

    If the problem persists, consider replacing the solenoid or installing a completely new starter motor/solenoid. You may also want to check out the ignition switch. Access is easy on Civics and it shouldn't take you long to isolate the problem.

Battery is new and was turning, so I thought it was perhaps frozen fuel lines. I added some gas and some Gas X product, and after a...

1995 honda civic 1.5 no start [ 1 Answers ]

1.5 liter engine will turn over but will not start on it's own. If you spray carb cleaner in it it will start and run great after that. You then can shut it off and it restarts fine as long as you don't wait longer then 30 min. We swapped out distributors, fuel pressure regulator, fuel relay,...
