Default Starter problem

1994 civic hatch
With a jdm B16 swap
Starter never given trouble

All of a sudden today I turned the key and I hear the main relay click but nothing happened
I kept clicking and it started
I shut it off and started 4-5 tines with no trouble

I went in the house for 45 mins came back out it clicked again 3 times and started on the 4th try

If I need a starter or bendix
What car do I tell the auto parts store for my engine

It says B16 on the block
Not b16a
Or a1 or b

Just b16

Try cleaning/tightening the battery posts and connectors, as well as the G1 battery and G3 transmission ground connections.

Another thing you can do after doing all the grounds Ron mentioned and the battery cables, is to take a hammer and rap firmly on the side of the starter. It can knock dirt and debris loose from the solenoid and a lot of times get you a significant amount more life out of your starter.
