Default 90 accord starting now and then. Please help

I HAVE A 5 speed accord, that when you turn the key sometimes turns over sometimes does nothing. When it does turn over it does start but seems week, some times I turn the key over and it starts the 7th or 8th time I turn the key over, sometimes it never starts. I can push start it and it starts. Sometimes when I try to push start it and it does not work, then I try the key and it does work and turns over. I do not want to spend money on a new starter and find I wasted my money. when the starter engages it does it works, but most of the time when I turn the key there is a click and nothing.

Please help another Honda owner

Take it to your local advance auto or AutoZone and have them test your battery... If it checks good test your starter... And if that checks out then start looking at ground wires

This sounds like ignition switch given that push starting isn't working sometimes. If it was starter related then you should be able to push start with no problems.

To see if this one is working. Find the main relay put your hand on it and put the key to the on position. If you feel it click the relay should be good.

Try this to see if it is the ignition



Advance Auto Parts will test to see if your starter is bad. Take it out and take it to them
