Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    Help Me Start My Car!!

    Well, today I found my keys which were lost for about two wks. (I sure thought I had lost them forever). Either way, here's the main problem. My 91 Accord EX won't start at all. Now, before you go and say bad alternator, check the battery, etc. there is something important to mention... It doesn't even get that far!! It alllll starts back @ the ignition switch. I put in the key (and yes, it's the correct one) and it won't engage even to the "I" position. The farthest it gets is about halfway there. I'm in need of some major help right now. Flood me with responses!!

              thanks for the quick responses so far... it's an AUTO and i'm familiar with the "jiggle the steering wheel" trick. unfortunately, that didn't work either. what else ya got?

              p.s. i'll be sure to charge the battery a bit later today. it's been sitting in the garage cause i don't remember any sparks when i hooked it up earlier.

                      well, i think it was actually. for some reason there is a piece just near the key hole on the bottom side that reads the key in the ignition (it tells the car to make that annoying chime, "dee dee dee dee") so you won't forget your keys. as much as i've tried to put that back in where they key can go in and go out freely, i haven't been able to do so. i think i'll just leave it out and unscrewed. from there, my key goes in, starts the car and come out smoothly.

                      p.s. just to customize it anyway, i'm going to get a push button start!!

                        yea, it's definitely NOT in park. haha, i've done that before but this time, it's not the case.
