Hi everyone i just signed up today so bare with me.My honda went out on me on this past Sunday .I thought it was a bad starter turns it is was.I took the old one to O'rellys and they tested it and sad it was bad.Great so i replaced it and it still wouldn't start no crank or anything .I had to jump it.So iam thinking it the battery i get that tested also and its good .So after a while i can start it no problems but when i drive it for some time (engine gets hot ) and shut it off then it wont start again no crank or anything just a click .I have to let it sit then it will start back up .I can hear the fuel pump turn on so i dont think it the main relay ? any answers? Also no check engine lights either ,Please help

 

Check the connections to see if they are clean and tight.

 

yea i checked the battery connections everything looks in order

 

How about the other end of each battery cable?

 

Since the car only does it when hot it would lead me to believe the cables are not clean at one end or the other. Next I would check to see where they are routed. Are they close to a major heat source? I.E Exhaust system? Then I would look again at the starter. It may be new but I bet it's a rebuilt one not actually new. They sometimes screw up rebuilding them so you may still have a bad starter.

 

ok thanks guys i took the rebuilt one back to orellys and they gave me another one .It works some what better but it still doesnt come on right away.Like theres a just a click.After waiting like 5-10 mins then it comes on right away .iam not sure what that it .All the fuses check out .Should i replace the battery cables?
