My car just died on me........HELP!!!!!!!
Alright Honda-techers...here's my problem:
Last night I was headed to my womans house, it was very cold, and it had just started to snow. I stopped at a red light, my RPMs were a little above 100, then all of a sudden, it dropped to under the 100 like 50......then the engine just died. I tried to start it again, and my car wouldn't start. The car makes a noise when I turn the key, the noise it makes, before the car actually turns over, when I regularly start it, but when i did try and start it, i don't really feel the engine moving, so could that be the timing belt? The lights are dim when I tried to start it. I didn't try and get a jump because it was too damn cold, its sitting at my girls house right now, and I have no idea what the hell is wrong with it. any help would be aprreciated.....

so the weird noise that it makes is, that noise it makes before the car actually starts? you know how honda's have a distinct noise they make, before the car actually starts.....
