Bad starter or bad battery/or terminals?
I got a brand new alternator because the car's voltages was under 12.5
Now when you try and turn on the car you hear click noise

The mechanic got something to start banging on the starter, and then It turns on
It'll turn on really good for a few times, but then go "click click click click click click" for a while
Starter, or battery cables?
I just bought a starter because I really thought it was but some people are telling me it's the battery…
Added (1). Car is a Honda Accord 1999
It could be a bad battery, corroded battery terminals, starter solenoid, or the starter. I would service the battery terminals first. If that doesn't help I would get a voltmeter and check the voltage on the battery terminals while trying to start it. If the voltage drops below 10 volts while trying to start, the battery is bad or not fully charged. If the voltage is above 10 volts while trying to start and it just clicks I would service the starter solenoid. If the solenoid is good the starter motor is bad.
If you get tired of the problem I'll trade you my Buick for your Honda.
If you have good battery power available to the starter and grounds are good, I would agree it's the starter. Testing is always best.
? This car is a piece of junk, I will trade it in a heartbeat for your Buick
What year Is it and where do you live?
- Which car battery is better? EverStart Maxx Lead or Duralast Gold/Battery? Facts: I drive a 2007 Honda SE, 4 cylinder. Been using a Kirkland (costco battery; group size 51r) for about 5 years. Looking for a battery in case this one dies.
- Motorcycle starter over heated starter and only the solenoid clicked so i rebuilt the starter n tested it with a battery n it worked fine? Put it back in bike and again only the solenoid clicks… Is there a fuse for the starter or a relay i may have blown? 1988 honda hurricaine 1000F i'm ready to hang it up but the bike runs so good when it runs. i ran out of gas n kept trying to start it till battery was dead and that is how it got this way. Please and thank-you starter works fine when hooked up to a battery off the bike. what gives?
- Bought a 1985 Honda inspector kid told me it needed new battery but started with jump got new battery and it was dead next day? Pretty sure its the alternator just wanted some second opinions also I got the bike for 600 dollars you guys think thats a good deal
- I have a Honda GSV 190 mower engine with a broken starter rope and stud stuck in starter that I can't remove. Any ideas would be great When removing the nuts holding the recoil starter in place the nut on the front of the starter is stuck. When I try to remove it the whole stud come out of the engine. Leaving the engine cover stuck to the starter preventing me from replacing the rope. I have tried everything I can think of to remove it with no luck. Heres what it looks like. http://www.ereplacementparts.com/bolt-stud-h425mm-p-554740.html
