Trouble starting
Hello all.
1999 i4 manual accord coupe with 90K miles.
I live in SC so it isn't that cold, but my car takes about 3-4 turns of the key in the morning to start. Once started on a day, it will start all day just fine. But after sitting over night, turning the key does nothing.
No clicking, no whirring, no engine sputter. It just turns and nothing happens but the guages light up.
WTF?!?!?
Do I need a new starter or is it another problem?
Thanks.

If you don't hear a click when you turn the key, it is not your starter. It's probably your ignition switch. Next time it doesn't do anything, keep the key in the "Crank" position and wiggle the key in that position. If that doesn't work, check your clutch bypass switch.
