My boy Mike has an EG hatch with a B16 in it. The motor has been in for about 4 months now and has never given him any kind of starting problems. Tonight he went to start the car the there was a "rapid" clicking coming form the starter seloniod. Not like the usual one click I hear when a starter is going bad. So, we push start the car and get to my house. I told him try to start the car again and it fired right up. We hang out for a lil bit then he goes to leave and it makes the same "rapid" sound. I put a load tester on the battery and checked the water to see if it was boiling under a load and there was nothing. So we replace the starter with another B16 starter that I had laying around and the same thing happens.

I have checked all the grounds and fuses.

My question is, why all of a sudden? What could it be?

I have been having starter problems also in my 91 CRX si with a B16. My problem is pissin me off and I have given up on trying to figure it out.

My car will start fine for 5 days straight then start giving me **** but just clicking when I go to start it. It takes like 5 to 15 clicks before it starts. I have been through 4 starters (2 OEM) checked all grounds and everything. Tested all the lines to see if they are gettin the correct volts.

The weird thing is, my boy with a CRX HF with a ZC in it has the same problems I have. Its like the Honda gods are haunting us with these lame *** starter problems.

Well, any kinds of suggestions or ideas will be aprreciated. Im really gettin pissed off at this.

 

A tough one huh?

take the car to autozone, haven hook it up to the charging system analyzer. it sounds like a charging problem, it could be the alternator, battery, or the starter. but it will most likely be the battery, i had this happen to me too many times
