I've been having some problems starting my car lately. when i go to start my car all i hear is one click n that's it. sometimes if i keep trying it will start. any ideas on what's wrong with it. all the electrical is working fine.

 

I'm not hi jacking this thread but I have exact same problem right now. Car wont start. I just heard the fuel pump and one click. I have my starter rebuilt once I wonder if that's the problem again. My car is 95 GSR. Note: search is not working rigth now, keep giving me error.

all you hear is one click? check your battery terminals and make sure they are clean..if not then it could be your starter, but i have a feeling its your battery terminal connection, happened to me once before clean them with a wire brush

Battery terminal is clean and the connection is pretty good. Horn, radio, lights are all working? Need my car to go to work. Need help please

 

get a peice of wood and a hammer and hit the starter a few times.

 

anymore suggestion on what to look at. We need help please

 

like ls said, hit the starter a few times, this should buy you enough time to go buy another starter

 

yes most likely it is your starter if everything else turn out fine, the solenoid on the starter is not engaging (clicking hoise) so therefore the circuit isn't complete. Try hitting the solenoid once or twice and then start....if all tat doesn't work...u need a new starter

 

I did hit my starter yesterday but still car did not start. What starter do you guys recommnend? Is the one from local shop (AutoZone, O'Reilly, or Advance auto) a good one? What brand I need to get?

Hey Kiklo16, didi you have any luck on starting your car? Did you try to hit your starter and start right away?

 

to both you guys, i had the same problem, i searched everywhere to find out what it was, its the starter man. i just took mine to a shop and got it changed so i dunno what brand or anything but its the starter.

 

battery connection (happens when i dont tighten it enough and it just lays on it) or starter. if you already tried banging it around then it's stuck. those are cheap so dont worry. good luck.

T

 

I ordered an el cheapo one (Its the only one I don't have a choice) from autozone, I will pick it up today. I will update you once I get someone to put it in for me.

 

what year are these integras? I have had t his problem before and my alternator wire was loose.. i dont have an integra any more.. cant remeber if there is fuses for the starter. but check ALL fuses.. my car wouldnt start when my main battery fuse went out for no reason.. just check everything before you buy a new starter.. OP did you ever figuer out what it was???

 

I have a 94 and yeah i tried banging it a couple of times and it still didn't start. I've checked all my connections and fuses so I'm thinking that it's the starter also.

 

Update: Having trouble putting the Autozone starter. It's not bolting to the block. Anybody have experience with Autozone starter (brand is Duralast)?

 

um never had a problem with an autozone starter other than the fact that they suck
ps i work at autozone so i see a lot of new looking starters get returned

Hey Kiklo16, I had my starter replaced yesterday and problem solved.

 

i got my car to start yesterday after hitting the starter for a while but i'm still going to buy a starter this weekend.
