it dosent even turn over? could be your starter.. thats what happend to mine , also i hope you checked your battey lol

Scooterman

oh no it turns all the way over, thats when the check oil light goes on and the check engine.. but the oil is fine.. how could it be the engine.. or could it be sumthin else.. like the battery..

sounds like the starter is shot IMO i would upgrade to a high torque mini starter so you will have plenty of cracking power. The mini starter hav ea lot more cranking power and they use a lot less power to run them and they dont get the common problem of heat soaking either.

yeha but when i turn it, it doesnt kick over, theres nothing... thats y i think its the battery b/c on my civic it did the same thing once

first u could start off simple and check ur plugs. check the plugs to see if they are covered with gas or see if they are black.or just change them for the hell of it. then check ur battery try to jump it. if u say its turning over fully then i dont really thing its ur battery but i could be wrong. if that doesn't work try a new starter and the last thing i would do is think about maybe having a head gasket blown. if it was blown it could turn over but wont start up b/c it has no compression. cant say exactly what it is but just try a few things u'll find something out. also check and see if any fluids are coming out your exhaust. if so that = not good. if it is your collant coming out ur exhaust then its a head gasket. and just another thing to throw in there could the engine be flooded? give it a couple of days maybe that was it.

i dont understand how this can happen overnight.. everything was fine... i mean if my headlights still turn on.. then it obviously cant be the battery... so u really think its the starter then?

ok well if u say it wont crank over when u turn the key then it prolly is ur starter. first i would try to jump it just in case...but then start looking towards ur starter
