yO, what up HT.com

Lookin' for some light to be shined on me from hopefully some or at least one of you knowledgeable honda heads.

Here's the issue: Car doesn't start. When turning the key in ignition motor does not turn over or crank at all. All i'm getting is a "click" each time. I was told by a local mechanic to take the "butt-end" (not too clear if that's what i remember) of a hammer and tap the starter while someone else tries to start the motor. Just wanna know more on this before I move on to possibly spending money to buy replacement parts.


-Okay...tried tappin' the starter and teg didn't start. So not likely the problem. Did notice the "click" noise which sounds like its coming from the dizzy. Anybody have a similar issue before?

Long Story: Integra has a Viper 791XV system installed w/ Automatic start. 1 day the alarm tripped on me. I tried turning the car off and the motor started choking as if it were starting repeatedly (really, the only way i can describe it). Ever since, car hasn't started and sat in garage for over a year. Trying to fix problem with tax refund $$$.

try it i have started many of cars doing it like that, it should start if it indeed is the starter

 

X2yes try that first if the starter is still clicking, then i would go head and replace it . goodluck! make sure you disconnect the battery when you replace!
