I have a '91 LS which I very rarely drive because my job keeps me out of town. About two weeks ago I went to start it up and it wouldn’t start. The headlights are still burning bright and the alarm is still armed. I gave the battery a jump and it still wouldn’t start. I thought it was the alternator because the stereo is completely dead. But after my attempted jump and it didn’t start i am lead to believe it is the starter or the solenoid that is connected to the starter. Has anyone else had this type of problem? Do they make a aftermarket alternator with more current for stereo systems for this model? If so does anyone have any suggestions? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
I haven’t really had the time to check on the car again and do a thorough diagnostic of the engine. The lights do dim after the key is turned though. What do you mean by a comression start? I do not hear anything come on although I do hear a low clicking sound. my brother has a integra and he said it was probably something small acura starters hardly ever go bad. I will devote this Saturday to fond out what the problem is, thanks for the suggestions.
