Hi there, my name is Jake. Sorry your having issues, but thanks for reaching out. the site may prompt a phone call, you can ignore it unless absolutely necessary. Does the engine crank but not start? or won't even crank?

it cranks but not startMy name is MariaLights, radio and all the lights inside turn on
Automotive Expert
thanks, \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* service engine light also on when cranking? do you notice the green key light when cranking?

I didn't even check thatMe and my dad are fixing to where the car is in like an hour can I txt you when I get to my car?
Automotive Expert
sure that's fine. if any recent work was done, one thing that's super common is the ground bolt on the back of the cylinder head G101 being removed. if this bolt is not properly tightened or no reinstalled it will cause a crank no start also. talk to you then

Ok. Yes my car has not had any work done. It was working fine yesterday and when I was Walmart I tried to crank it and it didn't crankSorry it crank but it didn't startWe can also smell gas when we try to crank it
Automotive Expert
you smell the gas because it's not starting. Good sign it's getting fuel but no spark
Automotive Expert
here it is in case you want to look at it

Oh ok thank you

What size is the bolt? my dad is getting tools
Automotive Expert
i thinks it s 10mm, if he has 10-14mm he will have most bolt sizes on these cars he would need to address for a no start

There's no green light or engine lightWe are here with the car nowWhere can we find the main relay in my car?We took out the glove compartment and there's only the [air filter](/topics-air-filter-honda/) in there
Automotive Expert
why are you looking for a main relay? did you confirm no power to the coils or injectors or something?

My dad was just going by what you tube saysWe are checking the bolt now

Is it in there?
Automotive Expert
why is that ground not bolted down?

It is my dad took it off to clean it
Automotive Expert
G101 is on the back of the head, you wouldn't be able to see it in that picture. the loom that runs the back of the head for the injectors etc has a ground that comes off it. it's a wiring loom secure bracket that doubles as the ground.

Do you have to get under the car to get to it?

There's no spark to the spark plug
Automotive Expert
No, you can access between the engine/firewall. The ground is certainly a possibility with no spark, but so is the crankshaft sensor or camshaft sensor

Still not sure what you need?
