My car wont crank but lights come on. I replaced the battery and still no crank. 3 days ago my car started and then suddenly the next time it didnt. Mechanic's Assistant: Have you checked the fuel supply? And are all the spark plugs working? In December of last year my car was losing power while driving. I replaced the spark plugs. Could it be a bad spark plug? I have half a tank of fuel Mechanic's Assistant: What year is your Spark? I bought spark plugs in 2019 my car is a Honda civic 2008. I also used a code reader and no code pops up Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Spark yourself? What have you tried so far? I have checked the fuse box in the engine, replaced the battery, checked to make sure I had fuel. Should i try my spark plugs again? Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? No. Just that it worked 3 days ago and when I turned off the engine I tried again 2 seconds later and no crank

Hello, my name is\*\*\*\*\* am going to try and help you with your question on your Honda. When you go to start the car and have no crank to you have power in the vehicle, do lights on the dash go on?

lights and dash turn on. Though now my alarm seems to be off or won't be triggered
Automotive Expert
Your starter may be bad if you are getting no crank. You could try to hit the starter with a hammer to see if that frees it up

Can I do that from the top or have to from underneath?
Automotive Expert
You will have to get underneath

No thank you though. I'll start with what you suggested to see if it works
Automotive Expert
Okay, if you find any more questions just let me know.
