i have an 89 accord. it has a starting problem. when u turn the key it will turn over a few time then quit all together. just completely stop turning over. then it will start turning over again. after a few time it will crank and run fine. it does this more when the engine is warm but still does it some when engine is cold. just replaced starter and battery tested fine. anybody have any answers?

 

Oh, a 3rd gen (86-89)......DX, LX or LXi...auto or manual.

Double check the cable connections, both cable ALL ends. Clean and tight?

Then can you help with a bit more info-when it stops trying to start, what is the voltage at the small cable on the starter?

 

Lxi 5sp. When it quits it just stops turning over like u turned the key off. Nothing happens then it will just start all over again

 

Check the connections of both cables at the battery and the other ends of those to be sure they are clean and tight.

If that does not solve it, pay attention to the lights on the dash.....when it starts vs when it "stops trying".


Cool-I've got an 89 LXi(I own it the boy drives it). My 89 LXi is a two door coupe....the rest are 4 dr.

 

Mine is a 2 door coupe as well
