celbii Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hey guys my gf's 92 accord is having trouble starting earlier. She told me it wont start and She has to hold the key all the way over and keep holding it like that for it to run. As soon as she lets go of the key and it goes back the car will die. Anyone know the possible cause of this? Bad plugs/ wires? Bad starter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Matteu Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 It doesn't sound like the car ever really gets started. Please clarify. If the key is held and the starter continues to turn the flywheel while the engine is running, a distinctive grinding sound is heard as the rotation of the flywheel exceeds that of the starter's armature.
