Stumped???

you can push start a car with a safety clutch switch. I have done it on my 91 hatch si before.

Compression...common how we supposed to check it if it wont crank. The thing is I have basically all the same stuff he does its pretty nice ill switch over my starter and my dizzy and see if it will start then. Im thinking it slipped a tooth or something but then for it to not even crank?

The neutral safety switch allows you to crank the car, actually power up the starter. You dont need to crank your car when pop starting it. What does it do when you try to crank it? Does it click or anything? Check grounds, fuses, get a socket on the main pulley bolt and make sure the motor actually turns without any interference, check the timing marks to make sure it didnt jump...

Have you checked the ecu fuse..I know my hatch did that with the b18 in it and i was racing one night and bamb it just died went to start it back and it sounded like it lost compression and all so i tought it jumped time but it was just the fuse..Good luck later.


Edit:nevermind just noticed you said it wouldnt crank sorry..

Yep it works. just turn the ignition key to the II position and let it start to roll. with the clutch pushed in when it gets going let it out in 1st gear-or 2nd depending on hill. And viola!!!!!!!!

Guess I was wrong, most cars with clutch safty wont let you push start them.
