Ok i goto start my car to goto work this afternoon, i push down the clutch and turn the key like normal and everything turns on cd player antenna my lights everything, but the car.

The car doenst turn over nothing , i checked the fuses battery starter alternator all that stuff i unplugged the ecu and battery i unplugged the clutch sensor and plugged it back in and still nothing

my car had this issue before where it wouldnt start right off the bat i would have to just turn the key twice....now i turn the key a lot and still nothing

i turned the key about 50 more times with the clutch in and all of a sudden it started!

but thats not the end of it cause now i am at work and it wont start again and ive tried everything

Ignition switch.

i think its the starter...cause i just push started it

SirHybrid

Ignition switch!!!!!!!!!There was a recall for 5th gen ignition switches and the dealership will replace it for free. (If you have a 5th gen)

preludedriva

crap forgot to mention
its 4th gen obd1 h22a

SirHybrid

might still be the ignition switch.

did u check if ur getting spark? yea before my car sometimes didn't start at random times, like it will start after i turned the key like 30 times. i had to replace my ignitor(icm) which is located in the cap/rotor.

preludedriva

well i was able to push start the car
i just dropped off the car at the shop they tested the starter and relay they both checked out good
dono if i am getting a spark though i am able to push start the car can i still do that if i dont get a spark?

SirHybrid

You are getting spark. If there was no spark, the engine wouldn't run, even with a push start. You need spark to burn fuel to power the motor.

if its getting spark then it wouldnt be the ignition modulator then huh?
