See if this works:

Make sure the positive cable, makes a good connection at the battery and at the starter. Make sure the negative cable makes a good ground connection at the battery and (preferably) at the engine.

  • Check the battery the simple way, like this:
Turn on the headlights, then try to start the car.If the headlights do not dim or go out, then the battery is likely ok.
  • Check the starter and solenoid:
If the wiring looks ok, then look at the starter solenoid for a good connection, and proper voltage at the starter(10 volts minimum while cranking).
If the starter spins and no crank, the problem is most likely the Solenoid's bendix gear is stuck.
Have someone hit (not too hard) the starter while you try to start the car. This usually works by dislodging a stuck bendix gear.
  • Make a simple test of the alternator:
If you can, somehow get the engine running, measure the voltage at the battery. It should be at least 13.6 volts to properly charge the battery.

I had the same problem, took it to a Honda dealership and it took them about 2 minutes to reset it, and he gave me the code. All for free, and I didn't buy the car there. Don't pay!

SOURCE: 1997 Honda Civic EX w/160,000 miles. Randomly

Sounds like a starter. next time it does it try to tap on starter with screw driver handle or hammer handle just a couple taps then try to restart car if starts then starter is going.

SOURCE: My 92 honda civic is hard to start but once you

It could be as simple as a tune-up. Check the spark plugs, distributor cap, wires, throttle body and filters for age, wear, dirt build up or arcing.

Crank sensor search there works
and can be different spot with different engine.

1995 honda civic won't start even with a jump

Well the battery and alternator would not have anything to do with the engine starting.
You would need to check the ignition system to see if you are getting the correct spark at the plugs when the engine fails to start.

My 2000 honda civic wont turn over and has no spark but the ignition coil and modual are both fine

Won't turn over? Do you mean the starter won't crank the engine over?

Or the engine cranks over and won't start, and you have tested for spark when cranking and have no spark? And then you have tested the coil and ignition module, and they tested out good? Am I on the right page here? If so, maybe the next thing to check would be the crank position sensor. The ecu (computer) signals the ignitor (ignition module) when to initiate spark after it digests the signals from the crank position sensor and the cam position sensor.

95 honda civic dx civic has good battery but still won't start sometimes its enought to start

If your car starts after you charge the battery overnight or with a jump start then the most likely problem is that your alternator is not charging the battery when the car is running. If you take it to an auto parts stores many of them will test your alternator (for free) to verify that is the problem.

If that isn't what is causing your problem you need to look for a short that is draining your battery and you would need a clamp on ampmeter to find that.
