Car won't start - 99 ex civic
HAN,
My friend and I happend to be replacing my thermostat. After we completed the task, my car wouldn't start. It cranks and that's about it. We thought it would be the battery, but my friend at work said "NO" its not your battery. What do you think is the problem

Does the starter turn the engine over and the engine just wont start? Or does the car not turn over at all? If the engine turns over with the starter and the engine won't run, I would bet you forgot to plug something back in or inadvertantly unpluged something.

Yes, the car turns over and it just cranks. We'll look at the car again once I get back from work today. We had to unplug the plug right next the thermostat. I forgot the name of that plug, but my friend is the one that plugged it back in. We'll have to check it out.

Considering you said that it happened right after thermostat install, you prolly forgot to connect the harness ground on the thermostat housing.
