    From Leeds,


    it seems that the problems is with do with the relays and distributor but more of electrical as u see if the car goes dead all of a sudden and u wont hear the click sound as u pop ur key in to the ignition the initial response comes with the active electrical response system from the car and the distributor may not receive the signal as its wiring or cables might have been worn out or some problem with conductivity.

    Hi

    I have a Honda Civic 1.4 Pertol 1999 model. Recently I have started getting starting problem.
    When I turn the key, I hear a single, hard clunk. Thats it and the car would not start. (It gets started by pushing it.)
    Now when I drive for some miles then switch off and then on, it starts without problem. But next day again the same problem.

    Can anybody help me in resolving this?

    Regards,
    Sajal

    Ok, i know i took a while to respond, but i found the problem. The problem was with my ground wires. After replacing them and cleaning the contacts on the car, all problems went away. Check you ground wires people, especially the one from the valve cover to the chasis.
