Well, I have a 1994 integra LS 5 speed now. Car has 167k miles, paid $400 for it.
Unfortunately, before I can autocross it, I need to get it running and driving. I'd like some input on how to approach this!
First of all, it doesn't start every time. 8/10 times you turn the ignition, it clicks once, then does nothing. the other times it starts up, but occasionally sputters and dies. One time it cranked but didn't start. It's not the engine grounds because I had jumper cables all over the engine bay to ground everything, but it made no difference. I am thinking it must be the starter solenoid, but I'm not sure. Thoughts?
Second major issue, the car usually won't go into any gears. I'm pretty sure this is due to the clutch slave cylinder, but also, when the clutch is depressed and it is in a gear, it makes a whining kind of sound, so I'm assuming the throwout bearing is on the way out.
Here is the plan I'd like some input on:
- Buy clutch kit w/new TOB, buy new clutch slave and master cylinders
- Replace the starter and/or solenoid while the transmission is out
- Hope that fixes everything?
I don't know anything about hondas so any input is appreciated.
(oh god what did I do?)
