Default 5th gen starting issues

Cleaning my car in my garage today, finish up, go to start it and it doesnt start. It clicks a lot, and you hear it try to turn over, but not in the dead battery sense. It sounds like the starter engauges but its not turning over. Fuel pump perhaps? any help would be appreciated.

If its not the battery its the starter. If it is a 5 speed you can rock it a bit with it in gear it will eventually get off the dead spot on the starter. I had the same problem on my 95 accord. I went about 3 months before spending $250.00 on a new starter.
