I have a 92 Integra GS. Used to be a daily driver, now my high school aged son drives it occasionally. Had an issue with a new battery dying, but thought that was because I wasn't driving it often enough. Charged the battery, which is holding 12V resting, 14 when it's running. Replaced the stereo a couple of weeks ago. Everything was fine. Son took that car out on an errand, got it to start, ran the errand, then the car won't start. Tried to jump it, but there doesn't seem to be any movement out of the starter.

I'm not hearing any clicking (starter relay?), it's just dead in the water. Dashboard lights up, but nothing is cranking.

So my questions are:

1) What should I be testing?

2) How do I test?

I'm guessing there is a way to check starter solenoid? Starter itself?

 

youtube vids can show you how to test.
most likely just needs a solenoid rebuild kit.
youtube can show you how to do that too.

 

OK, I've scoured the internet, and all I can find are videos on how to test and replace the main relay. I bought a new relay just to see if that would help, but it has not.

I still see lights on the dashboard, but nothing. No clicking from the relay, no movement from the starter whatsoever.

I've also tried to find info on where the solenoid is to see if I can test that, but I can't find those details anywhere. Can anyone tell me where the solenoid exists on a 1992 Acura Integra?

 

One other thing I should mention. My son swapped out the stereo right before I started having this issue. Could there be a grounding issue to the starter??? I'm reaching for straws here because I'm dead in the water right now.

 

the solenoid is attached to the starter motor assemnly.
remove and clean the ground on the trans.
cleaning the thermostat ground is also a good idea.

check to make sure the rubber pad is not missing for the neutral safety switch on the clutch pedal if its not even trying to start with the key

Assuming you got power to the starter, you can put the car in neutral and key in on position and use a wire to touch the trigger wire\signal to battery or power wire on the starter

Also it's like 2 bolts you can pull it pretty easy and take to auto parts store to have it tested

you can push start right ?

 

Aftermarket stereo could be the issue if it’s not grounded right. Also check the fuses! I’ve had this same issue. It was such a simple fix.
