Hey guys,

I drive a 1993 Honda Civic Coupe EX, it's been having an issue with starting up; whenever I attempt to turn it on during a cold start it starts right up. During the day whenever I'd make stops i would have to pray that it starts. Whenever I turn the key the check engine light comes on and then off and when I ignite it; it starts making a constant clicking noise. I took it to autozone to get it checked out and the battery, starter, alternator, etc is all fine. The guy said that it may be a connection issue so I cleaned all the connections but it still does it. This issue mainly occurs when it's super hot outside, not sure if that plays a roll. Thanks in advance for your help!

 

welcome to the forum. check the main relay.

 

Possibly has worn starter contacts in the solenoid. It will cause intermittant starting like you describe. AS long as s ong as your batteruy is good and teh connections are tight and clean, it most likely is a starter failure.

Does the engine turn over when the clicking noise occurs?

 

Bought a new one and installed it but it still does the same thing.

 

It's got to be a starter relay or ignition switch.

 

I just asked a friend of mine who works for DSRLeasing but is a great honda fan and he said that it's pretty common problem and it's usually ignition switch. Hope it helps
