Question Not starting??

Hey I have a 98 Integra GSR... And I have no idea wtf is wrong with my car.

I checked battery, checked terminals, tried jump starting, push starting. I checked my fuel pump... I switched the main relay.. When I put the key in and tried starting it.. no dice. Doesn't crank or anything, but radio, lights, etc turns on.

I want to say it's one of my fuses? But do you know which one would affect the car with starting?

Oh btw, It happened randomly.. the not starting problem. I went to Best buy in the morning.. then I went to fill up gas. and when I tried starting again. Nothing.


Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
Will rep for any information.

try this
Turn key to on position
Take a piece of wire and run from Positive on battery to small solenoid wire on starter. Make sure to take small wire off of starter and just touch wire to where it went. Let me know if car starts we can go from there.

Yes 12 gauge would be fine or what ever you have. You will just be triggering the solenoid on the starter.

If you dont understand PM your number I will walk you thru it.

If car started right up check the clutch interlock switch on top of clutch pedal. to bypass switch jump the two wires together. Dont mess with the lower switch it is for cruise control.

If car didnt start or crank, bad battery or bad starter.

good night

Ok when you jump the two wires on the clutch it lets you start the car without the clutch being engaged. You can use a paper clip, curve into a " U " shape, and stick both ends inside the clip, the bypasses the clutch safety switch. Also sounds like you have a bad alternator, if you cannot pop the clutch and get it going, that tells me theres no output on the alternator. Also their is a anti-theft device, and if was not working properly, it would crank and not start,which rules out that, but like you said it does not crank at all. One other thing you could do, put the car in neutral, pull the ebrake, take a screw driver with rubber at the end and touch the screw drivers to both terminals and let me know if it starts
