1993 honda del sol si

Intermitanly when I go to start my car it will click, but won't start. When I jiggle the key in the ignition it starts? Does anyone know or has the same problem

  • ironmoguls Nov 05, 2008

    This kind of advise is extremely helpful, because it seems logical. The innapropriate place to start would be purchasing a new battery, thank you for your advise and insight I will take off the starter solenoid and test it at the local auto parts store.

The click you are hearing is the starter solenoid. This solenoid is a relay that applies 12 volts (at high current) to the starter motor. When you turn the ignition key you apply 12 volts ( at low current) to the solenoid. If jiggling the key solves the problem all of the time I would suspect the ignition key assembly.
If jiggling the key only works some of the time I would suspect the solenoid/starter assembly. For your info the solenoid/starter comes as a complete assembly, when you buy it.

Hope this helps

1993 honda del sol horn does not work. Horn

Im in the same boat with my 99 civic si. it is wiring in the steering wheel that is causing your horn to not work. it is a lot of work to replace the wire in the steering wheel, so if you want a horn, my suggestion is to wire the horn to a aftermarket switch. it is a cheap and easy solution and will get the job done.

Try holding the key between II and III in the ignition immediately after you start it. My 95 Del Sol VTEC is at the dealership now for the same issue, it is an ignition switch problem.
