I have 1990 Honda Accord LX with 150k.
The problem is my car won't start at all even though I tried to jumpstart many times.
Mostly, it happened when the weather is hot (above 70 degree F).
My friend told me that it would be alternator.
I still couldn't figure out what happen to my car.
Do you have any idea what's going on and what to do to fix this?
Thank you

Sounds like the main relay, there is a how -to in the DIY section. Very common , a bit of a pain because it's way up in the dash but very doable

it wont crank? or it wont start?
if it wont crank, then get the battery tested. if you have a dead cell, then sometimes a jump wont turn it over.
if the battery is good, but it wont crank, then bang on the starter with a screwdriver and then try to start it.
if it cranks but doesnt start, then main relay

*blinks* bang on the starter with a screwdriver? is bang really a technical term?

Yeah i'd definitely try the tap idea first, then definitely do the main relay.
