first before you spend the money on a new starter. change out your ground wires, speaking through experience. if ground wires go bad on a honda, the **** won't work.

also, starters typically hesitate when they are going bad, typically.

could be, i have seen it where some times those break. it's a process of elimation.
the gound wires would be the cheapest and easiest way. don't know how much that sensor/switch is, but there are only 3 places you can find it.

1. dealer
2. junk yard
3. ebay

First clean batery terminals.

Check the ground wire from battery to body, and body to tranny.

Put car in nuetral

Use a single jumper cable, one end on battery positive, touch the other end to the spade connecter on the starter solonoid to engage the starter and crank the engine,---(IF the starter and solonoid are good.)

This bypasses f41 ,f39, ignition switch, and starter cut relay-(clutch interlock).

if it cranked over when you jumpered from batt+ to the solonoid , it means that f41 ,f39, ignition switch, or starter cut relay-(clutch interlock) or clutch switch is bad.

clutch switch isn't tough, just a pain to get to. I just cut mine out and connected the wires, everything turned out fine. Of course, in my case, that wasn't the problem, it was a bad ground

No, that means your starter is perfect. It suggests that the problem is further downstream. Ignition switch, main relay, fuses. Check em all

Start checking with the cheapest, easiest things first as a process. Fuses.
