well i have a 95 integra SE and well my car will start with a jump start and but if i leave it there for a while the car wont start without a jump start. but when it just there for a while maybe over night or when i came back from work and i try to start it. at first it sound like if the battery what die like if it didnt hold a charge or something drain it. so i check my terminal to see if im getting good ground or if something is draining my battery. but nothing is draining it and my alt. work its charging the battery. i even check it by see if its getting enough voltage and took off the post to see if my car would stay on without the battery. and it does..

so now i want to get a new battery and put it on and still sound the same like if the battery is drain.. and it does turn over so i dont thing its the starter... but it turn over of a bit then if i try to much it some like it taking more juice from the battery and so if someone can help me find out what wrong... would be great and thanks for any help

 

i check for the main relay and it wasnt that. and its would start if i hold the key for a bit and push the gas. but that work only sometime...

 

Take battery and alternator to auto zone and get them tested!

And do not run your car with the battery disconnected I read that it could surge your system because of the unstable voltage. thats your best bet man! my car did the same and i tested the alternator and the test said it was good! But i changed the alternator anyway and now everything is great.

 

thanks but the battery is good i just got a new one and also the alternator is good but it end up being something from the starter

 

hmm i almost got a headache reading your first post...must be gangstah talk..but check all your fuses. check spark plugs wires etc..

 

Do you have a multimeter? Do you know how to check for parasitic drain?

 

and for future reference, it could also be the ignition coil.
They need to be within a certain voltage range.... u can use a multimeter to check the posts on ignition coil.

 

ignition coils would usually just die out if it was bad...never heard of anyone having issues with it before it actually gives out
