Car shuts off while driving, wont start.
Won't crank. Interior lights are good, dash lights are good, radio works, didn't overheat. Just won't crank over.

Hello my name is Dave,

I have encountered this problem with quite a few Honda's and most of the time if the engine won't turn over the problem ended up being a bad ground cable from the battery to the block. I find the easiest way to test for this is to simply take a set of jumper cables and clamp one black end to the battery and the other to the engine and see if it will start, if it does replace the negative cable and you should be good to go. Let us know if this works for you and thank you for using 2CarPros.
