"Minor" starter problem
A few days ago, when i went to a shop to get my compression measured (on a Civic '90 DX), the guys told me my starter is spinning a bit too slow. On a side note, it takes at least 4-5 rotates to start the engine...something like "cg-cg-cg-cg-WOOOM". Now i'm wondering if this is something i could fix myself? Because the shop is asking 100$ just to take a look at it.
On a (second) side note, the car is maintained, oil is changed recently, battery is ok and so is alternator (measured it both using multimeter). Spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, fuel filter, everything is recently changed and working fine. The car had this problem for at least 4 years now.

I myself, would just buy a starter, I think they are like $60-$80 and install it (never bought one for a CRX yet tho, my 84 BMW starter was in that price range tho)... Very easy to do... That *should* fix your problem... If its a problem wth the starter itself... Which thats what it sounds like the mechanics think it is...
