My crx was running fine until i got home and tried to start it again after about 5 mins and it wont start. Im not even getting any power. I checked the battery, it was good, but the alternator is going bad. The car should still start but i dont kno whats wrong. please help

 

Change the alternator, and check your engine grounds.

 

Shouldn't i be able to start the car with a bad alternator?

 

car still not starting
help!

 

The car will not start if your altenator has gone. Did you ever notice your battery light on while you were driving. This is the sign to change the alternator.

 

your car will start just charge the battery it will olny last for a half a day or so

 

depends if you have your lights and or radio on

 

depends if you have your lights and or radio on
how long it will last

 

pull code from ECU.... or ... check ignition systems and fuel system.... ( Distributor,Fuel Pump, Starter....ETC..)

 

When you say not getting power do you mean no interior lights or anything comes on? If so clean up your terminals and the clamps, 200+grit sandpaper is perfect. Then start checking connections/grounds and fuses. Esp the 60 amp ones in your engine bay fusebox, dont remember exactly which one but check them all anyway.

 

How do you know your battery is good what was the static voltage?(the voltage as it just sits there with nothing on and no load on the battery?)
