hey guys so i gotta problem with my 99 ek coupe at times it jus doesnt wanna crank over at all
its stick when it drives shifting is fine so i figure it cant be the clutch but
some one told me its probably the clutch cuz it doesnt wanna crank at times so they figure its the clutch not graving if u no ne thing else or a reason y the cars not turning over id appriciate it n the battery doesnt die out or nothn so the alternator is working keepn charge i dont hav any ground issues so im lost on what it might be

Are you saying that the starter motor cranks the engine just fine but the engine won't fire up and run?

If so:

1) Listen for whether the fuel pump primes (low humming noise in rear) for 2 seconds when you turn the key to ON(II).

2) Check whether, when you turn the key to ON(II), the CEL turns ON and then OFF after 2 seconds. Or does it instead stay ON?

3) Check for spark at each plug. Disconnect a plug wire from a plug and insert a spare plug into the end of the wire. With the plug threads grounded on the valve cover, have your buddy crank the engine. You should see bright bluish spark (not weak orangish spark) at the tip of the plug.

I'd stay away from the D17 platform. It's the redheaded stepchild of the Honda engine family.
