ok so i have a 95 civic coupe dx. my car has power but it dies as i try to start it like it loses power. so every where i go i have to park on a hill soo i can pop the clutch. my battery is putting out about 13.5 volts when i get it started and take off the cables. which also tells me when i take off the cables and it still runs then my alternator should be good. when the alternator is hooked up it runs at about 14.5 volts and i am wondering if i should replace my battery and cables or if im just missing something. there is a lil corrosion i found today but not enuf to not start it. i also went out one morning b4 i turned on the car and tested my battery and it was at 10.5 while it was cold in the morning. i need any help.

 

you could be having an issue with your starter solenoid. or, it could be grounding somewhere a tad bit when it shouldn't. you'll always have a higher volt reading with alternator than with the battery. how old is the battery? is it possible that you check your car with another battery?

 

main relay? if your car doesnt start, kick the kick panel on your left side and try agian, try like 3-4 times

 

possible fuel pump, check your spark plugs + wires or maybe even a bad distributor
