    Yo whats going on, car "ticks", starts then stalls??

    hi all,

    Ive been having problems with starting my car in the morning. When i turn the key to ignition sometimes it just makes a ticking sound every time i turn the key to start it up. Im guessing the sounds the relay. The battery i replaced only 8 months ago so it shouldnt be that. Then this morning when i turned the key to ignition it ticked, struggled to life then stalled. Fuel pump, fuse, engine seizing up (its had a hard life under my ownership)??

    sounds like your starter motor ? Open ur bonnet - disconnect your negative terminal on the battery for safety THEN check to see that all wires to your starter motor are held and tight. Also check ground cables etc...

    Is it like an almost continuous ticking sound? If you battery was recently changed and is operating fine, check you start motor connectors. Failing that.......it might be a starter motor problem.

    probably your alternator.. not charging?
    if it starts.. then conks out then the battery it dying with no charge..

    put ur headlights on and start.. if its really dim. ur alternator or starter is dead..

    The ticking noise is usually the starter not being able to draw enough current or the starter itself is faulty.

    checked the starter motor terminals, alot of built up dust and crap around them but the wires are all still housed tight. It did it again this morning tho. Think its time to go see honda.

    only difference is mine only give "TICKS" and either start or does not start, but nothing happens other than "TICK"
