I slammed the hood on my car extremely hard and now it will crank but not start.

Asked by Paula Mar 15, 2019 at 02:43 AM about the 1998 Honda Civic DX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My car wasn't having any
problems until I slammed my
good very hard. Now it will crank
no start. Distributor cap didn't
look right so I replaced bolts. My
boyfriend tried to turn the car on
while distributor cap was off. Also
I found aluminum foil in my under
dash fusebox behind a fuse.
Could it have moved when I
slammed the hood and not
making contact now? Its been
broke down for a year now and I
am not employed and poor. Help. I
am mechanically inclined

About 3 weeks ago I went to start up my 2009 Honda Civic Sedan lx and lights came on and everything but wouldn't start. On the third time trying to start it none of the lights came on, so I changed the battery. I tried starting it with the new battery, all lights came on perfectly, but it wouldn't turn over. I changed the starter and the car ran fine with no problems for maybe 2 weeks. This morning I was driving down the road when the check engine light came on and the engine suddenly started to rev up uncontrollably. I was able to brake but it was very hard to do because the engine kept revving. Without my foot on the brake the car was going 30 something mph, when I braked and got below 15 I felt a hard downshift. Has anyone had these simliar problems or know what might have cause this kind of behavior? 3 Answers
