car wont turn over, help me out H-T!
CAR TYPE:
93 civic si hatch w/ GSR swap
SYMPTOMS:
car wont start after shutting it off.
jump start it. it works.
push start it. it works.
but right when i turn off the car, it wont turn over again. just makes a click noise.
all the lights come on in the cluster. except the battery light
i made the alarm go off, and it sounded like it was slowly dying.
the car drives fine when its driving.
POSSIBLE PROBLEMS:
- dead battery (optima yellow battery)
- alternator
- starter
- low oil maybe? (i need an oil change)
Which Honda-tech guru could figure this out first?

Definitely sounds like a batt. problem or possible a batt. connection problem.
If jump starting, [boosting with jumper cables from a good batt.] works then it is not a grounding issue.
Replace the batt. before damage is done to the alt. 94
