Question Not my Z but my civic help!

Ive posted on hondatech but no luck.. I'm hoping someone on here can point me in the right direction. Long story short, I acquired a 93 civic ex and everything ran fine before i changed the battery and then all of a sudden the engine will crank but not turn over! Why?! Also the electrical (windows, sun roof) stopped working and now they're open, anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Negative. No power. So my civic has been sitting there with the windows down and sun roof up. My dads battery went dead so I put the new battery I bought into his civic and it runs fine..

Your running the wrong battery for the car. Either A) Not enough amps are coming out of the battery or B) You need more amps to run the car

From the sounds of it you might want to check all your fuses. Its possible that you could have also blown a relay.

ok seriously....
#1 check that the positive and negative are tightened.
without a good connection you will have intermitent issues
#2 check fuses
#3 check voltage of battery.

So if I don't buy a first class ticket should I even bother flying?

I'm selling it once it runs anyways.
