Default Prelude won't start

96 S model. Only way I can get it to start is by hitting the bottom of the stearing column.
Battery is good and I hear the fuel running when I starting it up, but it just makes a clicking sound. It does not turn over. Also jumps starting it or cables don't either. Any ideas? I don't think its the relay because it does not turn over and I can hear the fuel pump I think its.

Hope that makes sense!

Sounds like it could be your ignition switch. Those seem to start going out around this time...

It's a $40 part from Honda and it's pretty easy to change.

I took it to the shop........$231.00 it was the starter. They had me test it when I first got there. While I turn the key the tapped the starter and the car started like nothing.

Now the battery is drained some how.....and they said I should pick one up at Autozone asap.....I have had this car for 3 years now, and theres no telling when it was last changed out. Thanks for the advise though. The ignition switch may be next on the list.
