My honda died on me the other day. I was getting ready to head back to work after lunch and it wouldnt start. Nothing. No clicking whatsoever. The only way I could get it to start is buy jumping it off of my van. It took a few minutes before it would actually start to fire up. I had to rev up the engine on the van to get it started. I took the honda up to advance auto and had them test the battery. The battery came up good. It should be anyways because its still only a few months old. I took out my starter and took it up and had it tested as well. The starter was fine. I tested my alternator by getting the honda running by jumping it and then I removed the positive cable from the battery itself. The car still kept on running fine. I drove it around the block a few times. I was hauling ass everywhere and it ran fine. As soon as I got back to the house and shut it off. Nothing. I turn the key and get nothing. I replaced the clucth relay fuse in the fusebox in the engine compartment and that did nothing either. I even tried the battery from my van just to make sure it really wasnt the battery still the same thing. No start. My honda is a manual transmission so I have to have the clutch engaged to start. I have no idea what to try next. Any suggestions?? Thanks alot!
