I don't even get a clicking sound that would signal it was the starter. At the same time my idle drops and jumps irradically and it sometimes gets so bad that it'll turn off when parked or in drive. Fuel injectors maybe? well hope you guys can help, btw I have an 88 crx with a stock engine(I hope!!!).
your problems are easier to diagnose, first of all if ur starter isnt clicking or actuating by pushing out the pinion gear than the sylenoid is more than likely toast, if not than ur battery isnt fully charged, ur connection isnt tight enough to get enough cca's to the starter, or its a wiring issue, next time it does this take a hammer and bang on the starter and see if it comes back to life, and with a bouncing needle for ur idle id say check for vacume leaks on ur intake manifold, probably a blown off vacume hose, or possibly one is cracked broken or loose, if not than check ur intake manifold to block gasket and make sure ur intake manifold doesnt have cracks. those are the most likely issues for ur situation
