Engine turns over but won't start
The ignition coil, ignition control module, or distributor rotor can all fail without warning, leading to a no start. The reason I am leaning towards an ignition system (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-a-car-ignition-system-works) issue is that the vehicle was running before you went to...

Driverside engine vibration at warm idle.

Crank No Start

Clutch problems
As long as you can safely shift the transmission without grinding the gears, and the clutch is shifting you should be fine. This sounds like an issue with the clutch hydraulic system (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-a-hydraulic-clutch-system-works). You may be able to have a...

I have a crank no start issue. I'm not getting any spark

Some mornings (the past couple of mornings) my car wouldn't start, not even turn over, 1991 Acura Integra
Hello - I believe your "no start" or "hard start" is a problem with the Neutral Safety switch (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-neutral-safety-switch) (sometimes called a "range sensor". It determines that your transmission is in either Park or Neutral, and allows the car to...
