got that fresh f22 in my dad's garage, just waiting for a helper with a few days to put it in ...

sudden CLICKA CLICKA CLICKA today, push/jump-starts ok

battery died once while parked

bought a starter, bought a battery, backed it up my driveway when I got home tonight (battery + starter + receipts in my front seat) and it started like 4 times just fine

starter? battery? both? Neither? ARGH!!!!

maybe ur starter is going...or perhaps ur battery's wiring is loose.

grabbed a 72in battery cable while I was at wal*world (needed a battery at 10pm)
hmm...

sounds like the starter, when mine went, it was just part of the starter that was bad, so it wouldn't start when I hit that part of the gear, but the rest of the time it was fine. Sounds like the starter for sure bro

its the starter, same thing happened to me after a winter ebrake drift session in the snow. except mine never turned back on lol. do all your dash lights and headlights light up n stay on while u try to turn on the car?

DaInFaMMuS1

oh and if the car starts fine after u replace the battery n cable, that was the culprit obviously. but it sounds a lot like the starter issue that I had on my f23

irresponsiblekid

yeah the lights, amp, everything seem strong

When my starter died, i had to flick the key forward like 10-15 times and then hold it and it would start right up, it was weird. I did that until I got a new starter the next day... keep in mind my starter died on me while driving to the beach an hour away, it was awesome.

Gnate didn't you know starters are engineered to only die when you're far from home?

MoSp33d

yup just as i figured...umm check out ebay it shouldnt cost u more than 40- 150 bucks...and installing it should be in the DIY guide...my boy showed me how to change it on his civic...if u want i could write a DIY for u, when u get the part...good luck

Installing a starter is so easy.. serious..

once you move your battery its right there..

irresponsiblekid

yeah i'm gonna start with the battery (less work) and I have the starter ready to go in too.

push starting / hill starting is so weird

When you turn the key, can you hear the solenoid engaging the starter? It should sound like a single click. If you don't, try tapping the starter with a hammer or ratchet. The metal connections wear out and you can usually keep the faulty one a while longer by smacking it with something hard.

If you're hearing a fast clicking sound when you turn the key, then you have a bad battery or your alternator isn't charging the battery. You said you can jump start it, so I'm thinking it's the battery.

Starter definitely. might has well check if your car has been serviced for ignition problems.

irresponsiblekid

battery fixed it took the starter back for now, its started like 15 times so far AND MY WINDOW GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN which it hasnt since i got them tinted a few weeks ago

Glad you got the problem fixed. If the symptoms do come back though I would check the ignition switch which is located on the underside of the steering wheel. Symptoms of a faulty ignition switch (honda/accura has a recall) would be similar to a starter only no click. Absolutely nothing. Sometimes a new battery masks the problems. I have gone thru all this. Good luck.
