Starting problems
Hey guys, I need help, occasionally, when turning the key to start my '05 Accord, (2.4 V-Tech) I will get a buzzing sound. After 1-2 more attempts it starts up. Could it be the starter or a relay? Is replacing the starter a DIY project? any help will be really appreciated.

I'm not sure, it's my wife's car and I've never witnessed it. She says it sounds like it's coming from the 'behind the steering wheel'. The dealer wants $115 to diagnose it, but they can only diagnose it if they can duplicate the problem, either way I have to pay. A new starter runs about $160, I was thinking about just replacing that without the diagnosis, but it could be just a relay or something, I'll have to dig into it soon I guess.

Changing the starter is a DIY project, but I would try to diagnose the problem before throwing parts at it.
First off, when she turns the key to start, does the starter motor start turning the engine?

i would not replace the starter till i am 100% sure,,,,,,,,,,,,usually when a starter is bad it makes a click noise not a buzz noise there is something else going on ,
Alarm ?? relay?

might try
i had a 1990 5.0 mustang that did the same thing i replaced the starter and it did nothing and sometimes it would not turn off i would have to push the break and drop the clutch but anyways it ended up being a bad connection. what i am trying to say is get the diagnosis done it could be anything if i had to guess i would say your ignition

around the ignition at the steering wheel..or dash..How I usually start the car is turn the key on,wait till the fuel pump stops pumping and fuel gauge goes up,then turn the rest of the way to start.
