Default Possible starter problem? Is it my silenoid

Ok.....

So tonight I went out to get some food @ good ol McD's and while the braindead fucktards went out, killed the cow, baked the bread, and finally made my burger I had to kill my car.... No biggie..... except it was already up to operating temperature.

Now later when i go to leave I try to start my car and nothing..... ****
check the voltage via the turbo timer. 11.8; i've started it at less than that so wtf...

try it some more; pull out the only screwdriver i had and beat on the starter some; nothing.... Finally call my dad and he pushes me to get it started and I drive home.

When i get home i cool the turbo, kill it; then proceed to start it THREE ******* TIMES! This is the second time i've had to push start the great HONDA OF FURY™ and I'd like to not have to do it again

so either my car hates me or the selinoid is going out. What do you think it could be?

if your car is 89-91 look at the clutch switch. that is another thing that can casue the starter not to operate

Check the clutch switch, pull up on it and have someone try to start your car. Also, check the ground, I just changed my tranny and had the same sort of problem. I had corrosion around the ground and it wouldn't start.
hopefully that helps

cool thanks guys!

i'll check it out; but it seems to only do it when warm.
Right now me and a friend are changing the oil and fixing all the leaking charge pipe couplings.
