Ok, so my knowledge of engines is sparse to say the least, and i encountered a problem today with my 86 ex-i.
I put the key in the ignition, turned it, and absolutely *nothing* happened. The normal guage lights came on, as did the seat-belt-warning noise, and my headunit and subs, which indicates that it's not my battery.. plus i could turn on the lights and they were as bright as ever.
It's fuel-injected and i just recently had the injectors replaced.
the thing that gets me is that when i turn the key, there's nothing at all.. no turnover, nothing. I'm sure if there was at least a noise of some sort, that might provide some indication as to what the problem was.
Could the starter just be completely dead? Loose connection?
so i'm stumped. I drove the car not more than 5 hours ago, and it started/ran like a dream.
Any suggestions?
oh yeah, i also have a command start.. but i don't see how that could be the problem.. a loose connection would mean that only the command start would not work.. not the key-ignition itself..
Ideas? anyone?
Thanks in advance.
