Hey guys, I've been having the same problem with s for about a month now and today was the 3rd time it did not start! I tried to turn the car on as I would always do but there seem have no response coming back from the car. After pressing the clutch all the way down and pushing the start button, there are no sounds coming from the engine, just simply a soft monotone buzz sound. There isn't anything wrong with my immobilizer system and i took a look at the fuses and there seems to be nothing wrong. What is the proper procedure in checking the fuses of a car? Also, if there is nothing wrong with my fuses what do you guys suggest i do next? thanks for reading guys!

is the battery good? if it is i would replace the starter after checking all fuses and such

the battery is good. and again how would you check the fuses? I think the propable cause for my car not starting might be the starter. For a while now, whenever i start the car for the first time of the day, there is either a "delay" of idle after the car does turn on or some sort of grinding sound right after the engine has started. Have you guys ever experienced something like this?

Sounds like you don't know what your doing and need to find a good mechanic. No shame in that. good luck

well my car has grinded a few times after i start it...its the solenoid sticking i believe. I am going to replace my starter sometime soon. If i was you i would just order and replace the starter with a new or re man one !!

just make sure if you do replace your starter that you ABSOLUTELY DO NOT bang or smack the knock sensor (it blocks the way of the upper starter bolt). It is extremely fragile and will cost youi 135$ for a new one and will cause a CEL if damaged.

Even a "mechanic" who is not familiar with the knock sensor, and the S2000, WILL break the knock sensor if he is not instructed first. All you need to do is touch the connector with the extension and it will instantly break. Be sure to explain this to him. Or print this page
