Didn't know if there was any other usual problems to look into. The battery also dies quickly I don't know if that helps or if that is normal when a car sits for a few months without starting. I also have a little fuse box attached to the battery and have never seen that before and didn't know if that maybe causing problems as well.
The honda that I got was a car that the guy said he rebuilt the transmission and motor the car seemed like it drove fine, but I have heard that the tranmission ground wire sometimes is not attached correctly after rebuild jobs.
How it all happened:
One day after driving around I went to get some gas and when I tried to start, it made no sound at all as if I didn't push in the clutch. Before this happened when I started it it always sounded like it kinda made a chugging noise as if it was hard for the starter but then it would just start right up so I didn't think anything of it. The car also has battery power after I jump it and is able to push start it but It seemed harder and harder to get it push started so I stopped doing it so I didn't mess anything up further. I bought the car for $750 dollars and it has been sorta jimmy rigged so I don't know if that has something to do with the problem or helps out but I just wanted to add anything that could help make a diagnosis or at the least tell me the best way to go at fixing it without getting ripped off ( like taking something out myself and taking to place to be fixed or buying my own parts to take to a mechanic etc.)
Now if my problem is not the clutch switch could it just be faulty wiring or the starter. I have also heard that the cilanoid or distributor coils may also be a problem but I don't know how to go about testing or changing those out.
I am just looking for the best way to fix this problem should I have some one diagnose the problem and then have a mechanic take care of it or should it be pretty easy to fix.
