91 honda civic hb dx

ok here is the deal. i can not get my civic to start. every time i try to start it there is a buzzing sound by the hood release. and my fuel gauge will not register. it reads full but i know its not. I looked at the computer to see if it would tell me by looking at the led flashes, but it just stays on when i turn the key forward. i checked the ignitor and the ignitor coil and all seemed to be fine. everything seems to be plugged in but it just won't turn over. i even tired to hold down the gas pedal and crank it for like 2 min but still nothing. please help me if you can cause i ready to give up.

when you turn the key in the ignition to the on position can you hear the pump spoolig for 2-3 seconds ?

Have you checked your starter? Do you even hear a "click" at all? If not, I'll almost bet that your starter is bad.

Also, some other things to check before replacing starter:

- Check the voltage on your battery. It might not be supplying enough voltage to kick it over yet strong enough for various small lights.

The buzzing is probably the starter running. It could be failing, but it's probably a battery or fuel pump problem.

First thing I'd check is the battery. Have you tried jumping the car? Or take the battery to a car parts store and have them check the charge of it and load test it. The battery could have charge but may not be able to supply the current necessary.

I also second the motion to listen for the fuel pump.
