Civic EG

I bought my 93 eg hatch about 3 months ago. Just recently my car had a hard time starting, like it slowly starts. I thought I had to charge my battery, so today I charged it then tried starting it again. But it just gets slower and slower, then it just makes these clicking sounds then it doesn't start. I really don't know what to do and need help. Thanks.

Sounds like it's time for a new battery.

x2,you can take the car to a near autozone or advanced and they will test the battery for free

Alright thanks guys. Imma have the batteries checked.

so the battery is alright. they said it could be the starter.

my 4door did this about 3 months ago. threw a starter in it and was good to go. advance tried telling me my starter was fine when i had them test it, i had to point out to them that their test does not test it with a load on it. lol it was time 4 a starter anyway oem had 256k miles on it. put in a starter and you should be good.

check your cables and ground wires if they are corroded they can pull alot of votage , resistance is one bad mofo

also check to make sure your terminals are not lose , idk how many time i have a a loose negitive terminal , also they starter wire shouldnt have any play

hope this helps

U can replace the starter or replace the copper contacts in your current starter...its a simple fix

I had the same problem couple of months ago, the coal brushes were worn out.

Replaces them and it was all fine again.
