ok....this problem has been getting worse and worse. When I turn the key, my car will not start. I won't even here the starter turn the engine over. I'd try several times and nothing. My battery is fully charged and my starter is still good. Then I'd try one last time and the damn thing starts. WTF??? I'm usually very good at trobleshooting problems on my car but this one has me puzzled. I'm thinking it has something to do with the ignition recall. However, the recall only states that it may cause an engine to stall, even while driving and says nothing about problems starting a car. Can anyone help me out? Has anyone ever had this problem?

 

check if ur fuel is flowing

 

you might be a victim of the ignition recall that's out. but you have a swap so i'm not sure if you're affected. my sister's accord had the recall and it mentioned difficulty starting and ultimately engine stalling.

 

well....I know preludes have the same recall so I hope that's the problem.

 

ask a friend w the same parts..swap it..and see what could be wrong...

are u sure that ur battery positive connection is good??

 

well I dont know if you got your car fixed yet, but check the main fuel relay under the dash. I have a diagram if you need it. let me know. Good luck

 

Is anyone reading what he posted? People are talking about his fuel relays and what not...........he said the starter wont even turn over......that has nothing to do with his fuel.


Do you have a 5 speed or automatic?

 

uhmm u need the relay for the starter buddy. my friends mr2 was doing the same thing and he changed the relay and it cranked up like normal afterwords

 

starter motor dood...
get it recondition with new brushes and coil it will start up in a flash
