1991 Honda Civic MY CAR DIED AND NOW WONT START

After allowing my husband to read the email he has told me that he has already done all of this and it checks out good. I am lost and he has never seen this either. Please help I am dying to get my little car running. Gas prices are out of control. Thank you so much

I was driving then I felt the car kind of slip a gear then I saw the oil light come one and then it died. At that time the gear shifter froze I was unable to move it out of drive. I did everything I was taught turning the steering wheel to lock it. Was stepping on brakes even pumped them. I let it sit or a couple of mins was able to put into netrual the car never started agian. What was funny is the battery was completly dead when I went back 3 hours later to have it towed.

Engine cranks without starting?
No the engine does not even make that crank sounds. It sounds like a well I have never heard it before swishing wire in the air like if someone had a piece of wire that they were swinging in air

Sparks available?
Yes we have spark, fuel the starter is brand new we just chnaged it when this happened. The fly wheel moves but wont crank engine over

Fuel pressure is available?
Yes we are good there

Check Engine Light indicating?
No it is not on

When I turn over the key it makes a noise like a wire being swung in the air. My engine doesnt make that noise like your car battery is dead.
About the spark I am not sure how my husband knows that there is spark. But he did say that the flywheel moves when the key is turned
engine being seized what is that? Would my car make a noise when the was being turned? The starter is a brand new one was just changed when this happened.

I am not trying to be diffulct how can I explain it more clearer for you? I was trying to give you both past and current. I amnot sure wat else I can tell you. I would love the help! :)

You are not helping as I am not able to understand the problerm. I need to know the present situation in order to help.

Unless you are able to provide a better description of the problem, I would not be able to help.

This was the first thing we checked and the timing belt is great. This problem has everyone stummped.

Ok where do I go to get this type of test done?

Ok I went to a place to check about the compression tester. They said it would not work because the car is not cranking over. I explained to them the problem with my car and they hought I was crazy. Yes the coolant levels are good.

The engine is not cranking over would I be able to this with the spark plugs?

I am going on what my husband is telling me so I am just the messanger

when the car is started you dont hear the engine you hear a noise of "a wire being swung in the air" the pistions are NOT moving we have power to everything. We have fuel. The flywheel is moving.

Do you see why I am here my husband just rebuilt his motor in his truck so he does know what he is doing but this has him stummped and about 2 other mechanics

1. Battery condition. GOOD
2. Starter motor. GOOD
3. Ignition switch. GOOD

Crankshaft. Really. Thanks i'll have my husband check it out this weekend. This is the first time i've been told that one. Thanks agian i'll let you kno

My husband replaced the torque converter drive plate and bolts yes it was broken. BUT now the engine is not cranking. The starter is brand-new just replaced it before the drive plate. My husband said it seems like everything is too heavy for the starter. Before we had movement in the torque converter and now nothing

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTOR DRIVE PLATE. NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED MY HUSBAND TOOK IT ALL APART AND PUT IT BACK TO GETHER AND IT WORKS. BUT IT IS RUNNING REALLY ACCELERATED NOW. HE IS THINKING MAYBE THE TIMEING?
