b18 starter problems
so i drove to work yesterday and when i left the house no probs at all but when i go to leave work i get nothing not even a click, so im guessing no power to the starter i checked the fuse, all the wires look good so ne thing else im missin
maybe your battery went dead? did you try to jump start it?
your ignition switch in your column may be bad.. they tend to go out on these cars, causing exactly what you are describing..

could be something as simple as the terminals at the battery are a bit loose. if not that then it's possible either your igntion switch or starter solenoid is pooping out on ya.
test the solenoid by having someone hold the key to crank. if you don't get battery voltage to the signal wire then the ign. switch is at fault or somehow there is a break in the wire. if you do see +12v there and the car isn't turning over then the solenoid is sticking.

have NO clue.. but have you tried the simple task of jumping the starter from the battery (WHILE THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL!!!)?
lol.. at least find out if the starter is good, first.. it takes 5 mins, and may save you alot of time chasing down relays, when the starter solenoid is dead.. then work your way back..
You said there isnt even a click when you do it? probably going to be the ignition switch or relay, but i have replaced quite a few of the ignition switches, ESPECIALLY honda/acura's..

yes and no.. i have seen them gradually fail, and sometimes they just pop on ya.. it happens..
i mean, start at the starter and verify that works.. after that, test your relay.. im sure there is a way to, but I dont know..
Then, check EVERY SINGLE FUSE (you never know whats still burned out), and then check wiring connections..
after that, if none of that works, and you can still jump it from the battery, then replace the ignition switch
