Question
i have a '91 integra LS and while i was driving one day it just cut off on me. it sounded like somthing had slipped. when i checked all the belts including the timing they turned out fine. when i try to start it all i hear is the engine clicking rapidly. ive checked all the connections and the starter and they seem fine. all the electrical works and lights but my horn doesnt.

Answer
Hi Kenneth,

There are a few possibilities here, either your valve is hitting your cylinder or your crank bearing has spun. Those are my best guesses as for the info you provided. Perhaps try running a compression test on your cylinders see what you get. If there is anymore info you could give me or you need anything else let me know.

Thank you,
Daniel
