hey all, newbie here.

i've got a '98 (stock & standard). anyway, sometimes the engine wont turn over. the clutch is pushed in all the way and the dash lights/stereo come on, but it wont start. i had a starter problem in my old corolla but i used to hear a 'click'...on the civic i don't hear that. thankfully after i release the clutch then press it in again and try to start, the car starts.

any ideas what the problem might be?

D.T.P

Check the ground on the starter. Could also be the clutch sensor that's there for safety. Go over everything make sure its all tight and not corroded.

thanks for the response scird3r, i think the clutch sensor is ok.

i took it to ivan at igarage for an oil & mtf change yesterday and he thinks it's the ignition switch. hopefully it'll stop once i have that changed.
