93 Civic Si Won't Start???
I purchased a 93 Si from an old couple. After a few months of having it, it didn't crank one day. I thought it was not having power so I jump start it and it didn't start. So next I thought it was the starter. Replaced it with one off my other civic I had. It still didn't work. I doubled check even triple check everything from the ECU codes (which there was no codes throwing at all), ground wires, wires to starter, fuses in engine bay, and in the car. Car still won't crank! AHHH! Hurting my head just thinking about it. I even tried to jump start it. But the odd thing is what my dad told me to do is, he told me to push start it. It worked, but when I shut the car off and try to crank it, it did the same thing NOTHING. But while I was driving around the block, it kinda sputtered like it wanted to shut off. Have any of you fellas ran into something like this?

sounds like my problem.
it could be clogged injectors or something else.
i added one of those injector cleaners and it seems to start and stay on.
i've noticed with my car, if you try to start it and it won't, give it a little time and try it again it may crank up.

When I turn the key it doesn't turn over or even make a noise to try to crank the motor. The battery is still good, cause I got power. The only way to get it started is by push starting it.

even though you replaced the starter, it sounds like a starter problem (no sound when turning the ignition, but you've got power), unless there is a wiring fault somewhere.

OK guys thanks for the replys, I've found what the problem was. It was the clutch switch! Damn how was I STUPID! Not to check. Now its running. :thumbup: Thanks, again for giving me suggestions on whats wrong.
