Car will not start, new battery but engine will not turn over

SOURCE: I have a 91 crx

your problem is on the generator,if the chargig fuse os ok.(usually a very big fuse) altanator could be new and bad. try another one.,.the charging relae is usualy on the altanator.

SOURCE: Car would not start or the engine wouldn?t even turn over.

Try removing spark plugs and turning engine over by hand with socket wrench on harmonic dampner if it spins freely probably not engine problem fluid in cylinders will cause hydro lock indicating blown head gasket or injector stuck wide open. a broken timing belt would still allow engine to turn over as your car should not have an interference engine. If engine will not turn by hand with spark plugs out susspect internal engine damage siezed bearings broken rod and so.

i'm sure you're just having bad luck buy new one

SOURCE: Engine won't start. Dash lights flash rapidly when key turned.

the battery says 12 volts but may be dropping to 4 or 5 under a load...i would suggest jumpstarting the car and see what happens.the battery should read in the high 12 volts and not less than 9.5 under cranking. the dash lights go out on your car when starting,and the alarm will go off ,and disable the ignition if the voltage is too low in cranking the car because the computer will shut it down and activate the anti theft.....check your battery posts are tight. best of luck

Sounds like the connection to the battery may be dirty. Check the connections and clean as necessary using a stiff wire brush. Be sure to make the contacts look shiny and new with the wire brush, or else a no start condition.

Charge the battery for 3 days on a home charger to make sure it has enough of a charge.

If the starter tests ok on the bench, then the starter is ok.

Good luck on this repair.
