2005 Accord EX Starting issue
Hey, I have been here for a while but not active. I had a starting issue with my 'ol reliable and at first, I took it to Meineke in Atlanta and was diagnosed with a bad fuel pump. They replaced the pump, filter and plugs but told me i needed a new ignition because the car kept trying to cut off and it was the ignition which burned up the pump to begin with.
Welp, after the new ignition, I drove the car home and in the morning it would not start. (good thing it is a 5 speed). I drive from Atlanta to Vicksburg maybe twice a month. When I go to Mississippi, a mechanic told me to check the clutch switch, which I changed. (Nothing). The I was told the solenoid on the starter was bad, had starter rebuilt. (Nothing). Another mechanic told me that changing a Honda starter without 'flashing' messes up the computer. At this poin, I am ready to take 'ol Reliable to a Honda Service Center.
Anybody have this issue before? any suggestions which have not been covered already?

The lights come on, as normal, but the engine does not try to turn over, like no voltage is getting to the starter. I have to pop the clutch to get it started.

Well that is the next thing I would check - are you getting voltage to the small wire on the starter when someone tries to start the car.
