Honda Civic will not start
Please Help,
I just got my Honda back after it was stolen and the distributor was missing. Therefore after purchasing and installing the new distributor and even changing the starter, the car still would not start.... I can hear the starter and the engine will turn over a little but will not crank. Any ideas ??? John |
Re: Honda Civic will not start
Pull the plugs and see if the engine turns by hand. May be junk now.

Thanks for the reply Yes the engine does turn... I had to turn piston 1 to TDC to install the distributor. However I did not pull the plugs on piston 2,3,4 to perform this.... When I install the distributor with piston 1 at TDC, how do I know if it is on TDC on the compression stroke and note the exhaust stroke ?
