I have a 2001 Honda Accord sometimes I can turn the ignition and the lights and indicators will turn on but the engine won't turn. I got my car towed to the dealership and then it turns on. So the dealership took a look at it did test and found nothing wrong with the electrical system.
I have come up with my conclusions; it could be the battery just being low or it could be the alarm system.
Any suggestions would highly be appreciate if someone could tell me whats going on with my car.

Thanks

 

Would be nice if we could get more information.

Mileage? What maintenance has been done recently? Have you tried to troubleshoot anything else?

What exactly did they test with the "electrical system?" That's a pretty broad.

Your battery could be on it's way out, but if all the lights and indicators are on (and look normal) it should have some juice. Have it tested if in doubt. If I were to guess now just by what you've said, I'd check the distributor. Your symptoms match and it is somewhat common from what I've seen if it's 150k miles or above or if it has sat for a while.

There are a couple other things that could cause this, but let's get some more info first.

 

My 92 Accord started having problems at 200K miles of turning over and not starting. The guys here told me that it was the Main Relay...It's under the dash to the left of the steering column behind the cruise control box. I swapped mine out and haven't had a problem since...I priced autozone and other parts places...and found that Oreilly's had it for about $20 less for a new one...30...

Best of Luck,

the car has over 200k miles on it, last year I did a 60000 miles maintenance on it. On the reciept it just says performed electrical test found no problems or codes.
Right now the car is starting just fine, I'm just concerened I'll be somewhere and it won't start.
If the car acts up again I'll take the main relay in concideration.
I know its not much of a description, I turn the key and indications come on but no engine turn. Any other suggestions are appreciated.
