Starter fires but won't crank

Post by yung.chrystak »

Hey I'm very new to forums and hondata all together like basically zero knowledge.

I recently removed and reinstalled my head as a result of my exhaust valves being bent. Now it won't start. I've replaced the starter and tried jumping it off before and after that installation. All you hear is the starter clicking and/or something else running if you hold the key on.

I also have an assortment of codes that do not show up in hondata, not single one. Nor does any of the other data show mostly, I don't know if it's supposed to be like that but yea.

I'm completely lost here, I made sure to turn the crank and check the clearance before I put everything back in place. Used the proper torques for everything. I can't find an answer.

The starter should crank without the ECU connected. If it does not then the issue is either low voltage or mechanical in nature.
