I have a honda accord 03 lx. My car turns ok fine when its cold but when its warm it struggles, it has a brand new battery, new alternator and the starter it passed the test at a auto zone, it got replace bout a year ago. Any tips that can help me out ill appreciate.

 

So the starter is spinning slower when the engine is warm vs when it is cold?

I'd check and clean the cables just to be sure.....but this does sound like starter is starting to go.

 

Did you have AutoZone check the starter when you were there? If not - go back and have them do a test on the starter also..

 

@ wheelbroker , Yes I got my starter tested, It passed the 3times.
@poorman, when its warm its like my car don't want to turn on , it just struggles.

 

I think Poorman's looking for a better description besides "it struggles".

Starter spins the engine more slowly??

Starter spins the engine OK but it doesn't fire?

Starter spins OK, engine fires, but doesn't stay running?

That'll help to decide the overall direction of what things's to check.

 

I would say starter spins but it takes it awhile to fire engine while I'm holding the key to turn on. After that it stays running.

 

Tks guys on your help cuz I got no clue.

 

Should've asked before, but is this 4-cyl or V-6? (I think the LX was available with either engine)

How many miles? How old are the spark plugs? (What kind of plugs are installed?) (There's about all there is to a "tune-up" these days.)

 

4-cyl , idk how many miles but I havent change the spark plugs since I got it. Can it be the plugs? Ill check em when I get a chance.

 

You have to assure it gets a spark (check plugs to assure this)and that it gets fuel,(check the fuel pump to show fuel is being delivered. Other than that there is not too much remaining.
