there is no clicking sounds like when the battery is dead..would that be an indication of a starter problem or would the starter click no matter what?

the engine turn over? open the oil cap, get someone to start the car and look so see if rockers are moving. If it is timming belt still on. If you get clicking then its your starter.

my integra does the same thing sometimes ...if you hit the starter with something like a hammer it should jar the solonoid into working....dont try to break it just tap it with a hammer and it should start but if that does work then you DO need a new starter
