2008 Honda Civic Strong Crank, No Start

Topic starter

I was running pizzas when my car randomly died! Started back up once or twice but then all it could do was crank. I have a 2008 Honda Civic EX, 1.8L, manual transmission, and I have about 175k miles on it. I ran a cheap scanner on it and it came back with no cades or a link error message. I changed the crank position sensor as a quick shot in the dark, because I've leaked quite a bit of oil over time onto it. Still nothing. Please help me with some diagnostics, my fuses and relays seem fine but I myself am terrible with anything electrical. I would hate to pull the fuel pump for no reason.

Get a spray can of starting fluid.  While someone cranks the engine, spray the starter at the intake.  If the engine tries to start, you have a fuel problem.  Check the fuel pump pressure at the fuel rail with an analog gauge.  Possible problems could be clogged injectors, clogged fuel filter and/or weak fuel pump.  If it doesn't try to start, suspect the coil packs and spark plugs.  All it takes is a wad of gunk to clog the filter.


Update, starting to think my timing belt may have jumped. wish me luck lol


You have a timing chain, not a belt.
