Starting Problems Stated before, my car will sometimes not start immediately after turning the key, I take out the key and try again and usually it will start. I already replaced the Clutch pedal ignition lock switch and the starter relay. I don't think it is the starter cause I have experienced starter issues with other cars. What else can be the problem? Thanks, David

try using just the one key to start shake wail turning if works replace switch

It sounds like you have a loose connection between your ignition key and battery.
The only thing you or an auto repairmen can do is find and tighten all electric connections.

Weak battery or bad connection

Get diagnostics done, as this situation can mean there is a problem with the engine management system, this can be a simple valve, solenoid problem, wiring issue, or even a simple thing like the key battery.

ur beating a dead horse, hondas last long time, but maybe u should just have it checked out and the ask us how to perfom the needed actions

There are various things this could be ie inhibitor switch on auto box relays wiring fault or ignition barrel problems try putting the starting the car in N instead of P and wiggle gear lever about other option bypass everything and connect a live feed straight to starter motor cranking wire which is located on the starter motor, if car still wont turn over tap starter motor with a hammer, if hammer trick works then you need a new starter

Car sat for 10 days while on vacation.No problems before it was parked. I came back and turned key.....slight click as if battery was dead. Battery is fully charged. Any ideas?

my 2004 has the same problem!

Hey Lindypop,

If you have another ignition key, I would suggest trying that key and see if the problem persists. The key has a micro-chip in them that allows the key to work in your vehicle only, and you may be having a problem with one of your keys.

If this is the case, a fault will be stored in the engine computer. It will be a good idea to check those codes and address them as necessary, it may help to avoid getting stranded.

Good Luck!
