Hello Everyone:

I'd just finished installing the clutch to my 94 Civic Vx and when I went to turn the key, all I got was a check engine light that flickers, lights up almost solid, makes a consistent clicking noise, and the car would not start.

I checked my ground connections, followed by attempting to jump the battery with a battery booster; but I'm still getting the same symptom.

I thought maybe there was something wrong with the starter, and given that it's under warranty, I took the old one back and got a free replacement that I plan to install tomorrow.

When I got back home, I was curious enough to put the key back into the ignition to see what kind of dash lights I would get and sure enough, I got the same symptom with the check engine light. To be clear, I did not attempt to start the car.

Additionally, the car has been sitting for about a month, so I'm starting to wonder if it may be something as simple as a drained battery or if I have a bad ground somewhere.
