    help, my 93 civic will not start
    help,my 93 civic dx will not turn over at all. When I first got the car I could start it with the key just fine, then it got where I could not get it to turn over(all the relays would click and the fuel pump comes on). So, my thinking was that the ignition switch was bad so I replaced that and for a couple of days it started up just fine. Then the car would not turn over with the brand new ignition switch and I had a friend wire in a push button to start the car and for the last month it started up fine with the key in the "on" position and pressing the push button. Then I noticed the car seemed to cut out while I was driving around at random(it would lose power and come back, but I don't think the car died),so I parked the car that night and when I went to start it the next day it wouldn't turn over at all. I noticed that when I put a voltage tester on the wire going to the starter, the wire going to the solenoid would get power with the key on but as soon as I tried to turn it over the power would cease to be there going to the solenoid. Any help would be appreciated

    Have you cleaned the battery terminals really good? Good luck

    The battery is brand new and has a full charge, as far as the terminals, they have no corrosion on them. I played around with it some more and noticed that the sender wire for the starter gets a signal until you put a load on it

    . Remove all jerry-rigged wiring.

    . Test all under dash and under hood fuses with a test light or multimeter. Pay particular attention to the ACG (ALT) (S) fuse in the under dash fuse box. Remove the signal fuse, clean contacts with abrasive cloth, and reinstall.

    . See if the CEL comes on for 2 seconds and then goes out, when the ignition switch is turned to ON (Position II).
