No juice to start 2002 honda civic ex
Hi ,
I am new to this site..I own a 2002 honda civic 5 speed manual trans and I am having problems with it starting.When we acquired it it started just fine ,it sat for a few days and when we tried to start it again ,nothing happened.Nothing even when we tried to kick start it ..When I turn the key on, there are no dash lights and no clicking,not even the fuel pump...Went through battery ,no problems there.I am going to try the relay fuses next..Could it possible be the coils??? any suggestions???

you can kick start a civic?
But seriously, try a battery charger or use jumper cables with another car, keeping the other car at higher rpm will charge faster
its not the coil, not the starter, main relay is the last thing i would check. Battery can also be so drained to a point where jumping and charging wont work, just need to replace.

Line 7 kickstarting is an art if you know how to do it and it has to be a manual trans...Thanks but,Did everything with the battery including cables ,charging, wire testing,putting it in my other car and battery testing( nothing to do with the battery) .Went through every wire in the system..Changed some burnt fuses but still nothing.I think I will be paying someone to diagnose the problem..I hate electronics give me an old time muscle car any day.....

I'd get a volt meter and see if any power is coming from the battery to start with. Having no juice at all suggests a bad ground to me.
The alternator is grounded solely by the bracket that holds it there on these cars, and it is common for them to shit out.

Thank you everyone for your replies to my problem...We got it running.Found some burnt wiring.The person that stole the radio left some bear wires and I guess it shorted my juice going from the ignition to the relays,but its all good now
Thanks!
