Car cranks up but won't start?
This morning I tried started my car and it would make that starting/cranking noise, but it would just start vibrating and shaking so violently it was like there was a earthquake happening inside my car! So scary. I kept trying and nothing. So later Tonight I tried starting it again but this time it cranked up and just did nothing/went silent. The check engine and battery light came on and all the lights work. There's no clicking or anything. So there's no shaking now it just won't turn over. What could be the problem? I just got work done on the spark plugs and stuff not even a year ago. Battery is only almost 2 years old. I've gotten the starter replaced TWICE in the last 2 years. I got the engine light checked before and it said I had misfires in cylinder 1, 3 and 4 I think? Not 100% sure. I have a 2004 Honda civic with roughly 248k miles on it (I know that's bad I'm getting a new car soon.) thank you!
Nothing wrong with a 2004 car I'm running a 1999 myself. If you have had to replace the Starter twice in 2 years then something is definitely wrong. I still have the original one fitted. When they replaced the starter they did not bother to find the fault? The Starter needing to be changed was just the result. I would imagine if you find a good mechanic they will find the problem which the other 2 missed

Check battery and check starter again.
- 2004 Honda Pilot Cranks but won't start if I press the gas when starting it starts.Engine lights is off,? Maintenance required is on but when I reset the lights turned off and everything works for now? What would be the problem? 1. I'm thinking it is the Timing belts slips 2. Relay maybe lose 3. Crank position sensor lose What would be the reason trying to get opinion and will look into it whatever is the best possible problem.
- I have a Honda Harmony HRB215 K4 SDA that won't pull start but if I take off the recoil and drill start it, it runs perfect? I have a Honda Harmony HRB215 K4 SDA that won't pull start but if I take off the recoil and drill start it, it runs perfect. I did a compressin test, the pull start only gets the mower to 60psi but the drill gets the mower to 150psi. This mower does have a decompression vale where the ehaust opest about 1/8 of the way. I tore the ead off and checked and cleaned the valves. They don't stick open. Could there be an issue with the decompression valve? Or would it be the piston rings?
- How come my atv won't electric start but will crank if I push start it? 2006 Honda trx. Doesn't have a pull rope only electric start. The starter motor turns over the engine but just won't start but I'll push it down the yard with it in gear and it will fire right up. I'm so confused by this.
- My car won't start but when I try to start it, it sounds like a power drill? I have a 95 Honda Civic and it does not start it keeps making a noise that sounds like a power drill spinning. I have no idea what it is or could be any more. I've pulled the starter and put in a new one and the starter is still not catching the fly wheel. I have even resorted to charging the battery, checking all fluids (transmission, antifreeze, etc.) and putting in 5 gallons of gas but still nothing, can't pay to get it to a shop. Anything helps thanks.
