not starting
hi all im a newbie in here how you all doing.
i have a civic lsi 1.5 92-95 ive had it near on 4 months now. i didnt drive it for about a week then went to start it it sounded like the battery was flat first of all then it kicked in and turned over but then nuthing happend it just made a clickind sound behind the dash (the clicking might have been the dash lights flickering but im not sure)

RE: not starting
Does it keep turning or just turn once and then stop? I know this sounds stupid but make sure it has gas.
If you have some sort of test light, try checking to make sure you are getting spark. If you need to know how to do this, just ask, I am happy to explain.
Maybe try putting some jumper cables to it just in case. You never know, maybe it just doesn't have enough juice to start.
Good Luck.

PS, the clicking behind the dash is more than likely the electrical signal that is sent to the fuel pump to prime it.

Sounds like either the battery is near dead or you have bad connections on the battery. You should clean up the connections on the battery, and if that doesn't work, take your battery and get it tested.
