Default 1998 Honda Accord Won't Start

This morning when i went to start-up the car, it wouldn't. The car would crank for a few seconds then stopped, followed by a clicking sound. Anyone have any idea what's wrong?

low/dead battery, more than likely.
Any lights on the dash blinking at you?

sounds like your battery is going bad. or maybe because of the cold weather where you are located

Yeah, usually, that type of slow crank followed by a clicking noise is a sign of a dying battery. Extreme cold tends to drain charges a little more quickly than usual.

I just bought a reman battery for less than half of a new price with half of a normal warantee. That means I got a good deal. You have a bad battery but get your charging system checked out when you buy the new battery. (After you install it that is).
