No Start after wire tuck.

[91_CB7_Sedan]

Starter is hooked up like need be, all cables are ran proper, battery is charged, just trying to 'bump' the motor over.

I know it's not the battery, there is no clicking upon initial crank.
Your all accord guys so you know how right as your turning the key to start the car, if the Cd player is playing, it cuts off (I guess to run all remaining juices to the starter) and that happens like normal, I here the relay engage like normal, but no start.

All grounds are grounded proper, sensors, plugs, everything is plugged where its supposed to be plugged in at.
If I'm not mistaken, there is NOT a ground wire on the starter correct?
Also I know that there is a transmission case ground, and I have that grounded from the bolt on the trans mount and the other side grounded to the chassis. I'm guessing that this will work?

What am I missing?

Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

Did you tuck the fuse box? if so check the ground for it. You may have forgot it by chance.

If it ran before the tuck then I bet you just forgot something simple....is the little spade connector hooked up to the starter....recheck your work

Fuse box was relocated, and I'm 100% positive I ran all the grounds for it.

The little connector is hooked up. It used to be loose on there before the tuck, and since then I took the needle nose to it so she's on there quite snug now.

Any other ideas?

ok, I just noticed something. Inside the 'under hood' fuse box, there is a bolt that I'm guessing holds a ground on the back left corner (if its in your engine bay facing the fuse box from the front of the motor) and I know it had something bolted there before the tuck, but not now...maybe someone can go look at their fuse box and help me out, maybe a quick picture?
I'll post a picture in second to show exactly what I'm talking about.

I went to take a pic but my garage is two dark there's a ground wire in the back of the fuse box ground it..... this seems to be a comon part that's overlooked..... its on the back of the fuse box......

Its two black small wires that conect together there easly missed they ground under the fuse box when its in the bay.....

go pull an uncut stock harness from the junkyard and plug and play i bet it will start

Sometimes when doing a full wire tuck some of the wires and parts that where not meant to be together are put to close to one another causes some electro static interference that can cause shorts its why most shops will suggest half tucks on daily drivers rather than full tucks

Technically all I really did was a half tuck, just the left and right side harnesses that have the headlights at the end...

EDIT: Also, is there a difference in length between the drivers side and passenger side c/v axles?

[flatrex]

Yes one should be just a little shorter, also the splines are slightly different

Here is a video of my power lead going into my starter, I think I found out why its not starting...lol

EDIT: I also checked the Volts, and it read 12.63 right at the end of the starter and when I tried to crank the car; nothing.

Ok guys, I'm back. The problem was the starter, the little bolt on the power side of the solenoid was broken on the inside.

Went to crank it today, and she bumped a few times, but then acted like she wasn't getting the juice. With the battery hooked up to the charger and set to engine start, it just clicks rapidly when I press the start button. It did that for a good while, and now it clicks once like it's going to start and then does nothing. Any suggestions?

I've checked all of my grounds and plugs on the entire front half of the car. This starter is brand new and I know it works, b/c of the bumps it gave me earlier. When I flip my ignition switch on, the gauge lights come on as well as the headlights...etc.

But the starter will not engage at all. Checked all my plugs, switches, and fuses.

Nothing.

EDIT: Just wondering if maybe the battery can have enough to turn the lights and such on, but not to engage the starter...This battery is quite old anyway...
