my honda civic is a piece of shit and now it doesnt start the battery has power and there's power to the starter. When you turn the key the acc. dont even come on the dash. What do you guys think it may be? I'm leaning torwords ignition box, coil, and one thing that intersted me the last time it was running the fuel pressure was down from about 60psi to 20 psi. The car has been sitting for about 3 months and been started about twice in that time period the last time was about a week b4 I found out it wouldnt start. I just wanna get it started and sell it.

Just sell it and tell them it needs some work... Why waste money on it if your going to sell it. Just sell it for whatever offer comes yoour way.. :2cents:

battery, just cause it has power doesnt mean it has enough amps to start the car

clean the battery clamps.

i had to do something like that. my battery terminals were loose or something, but still had contact. that contact area wasnt big enough to transfer the current needed.
