Default Happy to be back, some issues when starting the car

Good day to you all. My Honda car I left two months ago seems difficult on starting. I think is the security I installed is causing the problem. Because the security installation was done through the electrical system of the car and I think is beginning to fail. it was installed 4 years ago. the battery power is very good and also battery terminals. Any other suggestions from you guys. I will check the spark plugs tommorow and also I will remove the security I personally installed. Thanks

More details. Is starter turning engine over but fails to start/run, or starter does not turn engine over.

good luck

Wouldn't you test for voltage to the small wire on the solenoid first

It could be a bad starter?

Good day to you all. TexasHonda you are right the problem is coming from the starter not the security. I was able to fix the starter. the car is starting smoothly now. I will also later raise up the discussion on whether to use single or double cell radiator. But presently the car came with single cell radiator. THANKS

If it is like the 98 Accord's in North America, there is a starter relay in the drivers fuse box from the factory.

The starter solenoid is a relay allowing low current ignition key feed signal to drive starter. See starter circuit diagram.

If starter is not engaging and blk/wht wire to starter has a 12V start signal from ignition switch, the solenoid has failed. Only fix is a new solenoid (not readily available) or new/rebuilt starter (usually available).

good luck
