    won't start

    i'll post as much info as i can about my car. it's a 1992 accord wagon with an automatic transmission. it had been starting rough a few times when it hadn't been started in awhile. not by much, just a little extra push. this only happened when i hadn't started it in a few days. most of the time, it started just fine. now the car won't start at all. i hear a click from the starter, that's it.

    the car's battery, when tested, is showing 11.??. the battery cables are new. i am still able to get battery power- headlights, cd player, etc. the spark plugs were replaced about 5 yrs ago (they were original and still going). the main relay was replaced around the same time. so was the igniter.

    i am hearing a click from the starter when we do try to start it. i have a youtube video available so you can see what is going on. the car is not throwing out any cel codes.

    i gave a listen to the fuel pump via having someone turn the key to battery (2 clicks), and i heard it come on when i had my head near the gas tank. a friend taught me that, but that's all i know about fuel pumps.

    i had a spare ignition coil a friend gave me from a junker. i hooked it up and the car still didn't start. figured it was worth a shot since the part is free before i go spending $$$.

    it could be a one of these problems, maybe?
    * distributor?
    * spark plugs?

    here's the video:

      It sounds to me like the battery is weak.

        Get your battery checked. Sounds like your out of juice.

          managed to get someone to help jump it. car started right up. has been reading a little above 12 v.

          when running battery tests at about 13- 13.5v. the alternator is original, so it may be the culprit.

          also, battery goes down to about 8v when trying to start.

            My cb does exactly the same thing, unless I get a jump. I had my battery slow charged and they told me it was bad.
