Car stalled, now won't even turn over

[beaur12]

b18c7 conversion into civic

Driving it back from mechanics after spending 2.1k on it, has new distrib, new O2 sensor.

Pulling into driveway and accidentally stall car, it proceeds to not turn over what so ever, car doesn't make a noise at all when i turn key.

Please for the love of god help me before I cry.

Lights come up on dash as bright as normal so I don't think it's the battery.

Tried to clutch start it but it didn't work.

If my car ends up back in the mechanic I will be calling the suicide hotline tonight.

acc come on but no starter action? check grounding points
i found my old starter motor wouldn't ground to the motor properly so i had to make my own grounding strap to the chassis to get it to spin up reliably

How would one find the grounding points on a b18c7 ek

don't really recall all of them, common ones are gearbox to chassis on the left and valve cover to chassis at the front
i ended up making up a cable that went from one of the starter motor bolts to the chassis

How heavy is your car? Get a few boys around and lift it over, should turn over then

It was grounding issue, thanks for the diagnosis man!

good to hear it's sorted :) what was the exact ground issue? didn't have one at all or did you have to add one?

The grounding terminal was on a painted surface because someone (baxteria) doesn't understand basic mechanics.
