Just had a knock sensor replaced and oil change done today. Battery was disconnected for knock sensor install. Drove the car to a local store and went back to the car and it made a crackling noise when starting. Drove home and shut off car. Attempted to restart my he car and it just clicked, engine doesn't turn over. Tried jumping the car and checking battery connection, no luck.

 

Sounds like a possible loose connection. Check the leads and grounding points, near your sensor installation.

Good luck!

 

Starter was bad.

 

Glad you found the problem. Did you replace it, yourself?

 

No mechanic hooked me up! He did my recent engine rebuild. I went from getting 18 MPG to 25-26 MPG and the pulls HARD in VTEC!!!
