i go to work at 330 am everyday, yesterday i got in the car and it would start i got interior lights and i could hear the fuel pump, but it wont even crank over so i jumped it then it turned on with no problem. same thing today but when i went to jump it, it didnt do anything, when i got home around noon i put the key in it it turned over with no problem wtf could it be??

 

ur battiery cables or its not grounded to the tranny rite

 

how cold is it out
i had this problem when it was really cold out and it ended up being the battery not having enough cold cranking amps and when it got hotter out it started just fine.

 

sounds like the cca on the battery

 

Sounds about right. Worth checking out your grounds too...

 

possibly a "dead" spot in the starter as well. I've seen that before.

 

I'd toss ina new battery for starters...when you say you "jumped it" did you hook it up to another car or did you let it roll and pop the clutch? I only ask because people use the term in both ways, and if its the second one, you might need a new starter...

 

no it a auto i used my other car to jump start it

 

when i got to work it about 50-60 degrees this is at 330am, but wont it start even if i hooked it up to my other car

 

what this cca?, never mind...

 

It could also be the main relay

 

50-60 is nothing for cca then... its something else... try your grounds... i was thinking u were talking 20-30 .. since thats usually the problem here in south dakota... its 10 or 12 degrees cars hate starting... thats why we have to plug in battery chargers and block heaters

 

id check all the grounds and rota button

 

I have a 92 integra and mine does that at times as well. What i do is when it acts up i turn the ignition switch to on and wiggle my battery terminals until i hear the door chimmer then it will start. But if thats ur problem i would install new battery cables.

 

problem solved it was the battery the cells were dryed out

 

never mind it did it again today around 7am, it was about 60-70 degrees out this morning i left and when i came back around 9am i put the key in and it started rite up w/ no problems, im about to lose my mind, i switched the batteries out with my other car which is an otima red top so i have to wait till nite time to see it it turns on. its so frustrating the same thing i had power on the inside and the radio and all that worked but when i turned the key nothing all i hear is the damn fuel pump

 

yep mine does the damn same thing...after like 20-30 try of pumping the clutch and turn the key to ignition is finally start..but if u fine the answer to this symptom message me and let me know bro..i have an LS in my hatch..why this is pretty commen problem for integra motor
lol..i turn the key to ignition then pump the clutch and nothing happen, but then when i release the key to on the radio and everyindicator in the guage work and radio and everything work but motor doesnt turn on...

 

sounds like u need a starter but what i would do is check the wires on the starter for good connection first then go from there but it sounds like starter because u say u here the fuel pump so u got fuel and if it starts sometimes then obviously u got fire.

 

my 91 da used to do the same thing. i used to have leave the key turned to II and just pump the clutch till it cranked, x2 for bad starter

 

the car's auto

 

Bad starter... has to be... or the only other thing that I could possibly think is an alarm that is acting up.. That happened to me once before but I would check out the starter connections first. If they seem to be fine then pull the starter and hook it up to the battery see if it pops out and rotates.

 

yea iam check the starter out, b/c i dont have an alarm

 

ekmushi mushi...check your clutch pedal position sensor, my ls 92 teg did the same thing and if i would push on the clutch pedal super hard it would crank and start right up for me

 

so far its still doing it, i plan to replace all the grounds what size guage should i use??
