Starter issue?
I have an 05 accord ex. Replaced the battery and the starter. The starter spins but didnt engage to the crank/fly wheel in order to turn the engine over. The new starter does the same thing. After the 2-3 attempt the car will start and run perfect.
Im not sure if the fly wheel could be missing teeth, or if i need to replace the starter relay.
This problem dont always happen, its once every couple starts.
Help!

When you have a new problem, even similar to an existing problem, start your own thread.
Clean/inspect battery connections carefully and see if problem is resolved. If not, need to check starter voltage for adequate voltage; possible defective bat wire.
good luck

It cant be the battery, its new and no corrosion on terminals. The starter engages when i turn the key, it just dont turn the engine. It basically spins freely without connecting to anything. Then the 2nd-4th attempt it starts right up...

Must be a faulty starter despite it being new. Not unheard to have bad starter out of box. What is source of starter.
To confirm, check for 11+V at starter during starting. If adequate voltage then starter is defective.

Sounds like the starter works, but the pinion gear doesn't throw out far enough. Testing it on the bench isn't gonna pick that up unless you bother to measure that; & know exactly how far it's supposed to come out.
