hey fellas... got a late 97 Accord V6 3.0L vtec... and it wont start!! its not the battery since i changed it.. when i try to start it, it makes no noise... so i havnt got as far as thinking about the dizzy... now..
would it be the start motor? and anyone kno how much it costs or where i can source one?
cheers
Is that your steering wheel is in Locked position?
If your key is unable to turn at all, then it is above problem.
solution: trun key half way, turn ur steering wheel to free it from locked position, then turn the key further, then u will be ok.
dude... make sure ur in Parking position..
and then if still no sound .. it's the starter.. i got mine replaced
mate im positive its not steering lock, as the key does turn all the way to ignition... yea i made sure it was in parking.. i thought it was the starter... but just seeing other opinions
try starting it in N, and also try moving gear shifter while the key is in the crank position.
also does the green key light come on the dash while you try to crank the engine
Do your dash lights/warning lights come on when you turn the key to IGN ON?
oh 0ok... so what will these determine??Quote:

um... could also be a after market alarm with faulty immob.
i had that once happened to my car...
dude could be your key is faulty if it's not an original....e.g.(mister minute cut)
no after market alarm, using original key..
:S im just gona go ahead and change the starter... and well see what happens from there i guess
Ummm ever heard of an Auto electrition? :p
it determins if the park neutral switch is out of alighnment. also it could be a faulty start neutral switch, or faulty ignition switch, wiring or imoobiliser. when it sin the crank position is the green immobiliser key light not on ???. you can do a simple test with a cheep ass test light to see if your starter motor is dead.
