Dave Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Try the checking the thinnest wire on the starter Chi, make sure its got a really good connection. I've had a similar problem before (on a ford though) and this was the cause.iirc this is the one that goes to ignition? another thing that you could try is disconnecting the battery, and leave it off for a bit. then reconnect it and try it again, incase it is an ecu fault (wouldnt have thought so, but worth a try) Id say its deff something simple mate, and is starter related, as it goes with a bump start. Could be the solenoid in the starter that gone also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

civicturbo79 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 That my friend looks like an earthing problem , Make sure the connections on the battery are good and not corroded , and then check the earth leads to the engine and the body are clean in the engine bay are all good as the can break , if the engine has not got a good earth the starter motor is earth from the engine so that is your problem and the start of this problem could have well been what has been course you temp gauge to rise up and down .
