Default Prelude Professionals!

Alryte prelude pro's, here's the problem:

I have a 4th gen (manual) and lately, my car won't start. It'll make a click noise (not the fast clicking like the battery is dead) but it will click once everytime I turn the key. The battery is fine and all the lights and stereo work. But the car won't start every morning. The thing is, if I keep trying to start it, it'll start after about 10 minutes doing so. Then I'll drive to work.. and after a few hours it'll start with no problem.. But when I let it sit overnight, it won't start in the morning. What do you honda tech's think is the problem?

Check out your ignition switch at the other end of the key cylinder (where you put your key in to start it). They do wear out...

Could also be main relay or ignitor

Yeah u might wanna check ur ignition switch. The one click ur hearing is likely the starter solenoid trying to start. Do ur hear ur fuel pump priming everytime? Should hear a slight hissing noise as it's pressurizing the line, if u don't hear it everytime could be ur main relay.
