Re: Honda Civic 1995 Won't Start
 

If the car won't even crank, it certainly is not the timing belt. If you
put in your own kill switch, check the wiring carefully. If it is a
stick shift, check the switch on the clutch pedal. Automatics have a
gear position switch instead that will not allow you to start the car in
gear. Check this switch if your car in an automatic.

Re: Honda Civic 1995 Won't Start
 

90% on a straight motor like a 4 cylinder or a straight 6 like some
chyrslers it WILL bend the valves. It did it on my 87 civic and my 94
civic.

I had a timing belt break on my 73 Civic CVCC,no damage at all;cranking
went really fast after the belt broke.

It all depends on a particular engine design.
