My 1994 Honda Prelude si is not wanting to start when I turn the key in the ignition. All of the dashboard lights will turn on, I hear 2 clicks, then nothing. Dead silence. The car has a brand new battery and alternator. I have checked the clutch switch and it seems to be working properly. There are no burnt fuses. I have performed the ignition switch test (turn the key to position II, engine light turns on for 2 seconds, then turns off) and it did exactly that. I have OHM tested the power wire to the starter and it reads 13volts. The battery cables are clean and tight. This problem began all of a sudden yesterday. A friend came to jump start my car and it would not start even with a jump. Just dead silence. Luckily, the car has a manual transmission and we are able to push start it by popping the clutch. It started right away and ran like a champ all the way home. Turned off the key and now I'm back to the same problem. Turn the key and dead silence. Please help!!!
Sorry bud you need a starter, relay contacts in the starter are very dirty or just plain worn out.
Pulled the starter off today and had it bench tested. Starter is good. Got home and checked the voltage on the switch wire going to the starter and there is NO power going to the starter. Used a jump wire from the battery directly to the starter and it started right up as normal. This led me to check the starter cut off relay. Pulled it out; bought a replacement; put it in thinking that this was finally the answer. Turn the key and dead silence. I am showing voltage from the ignition relay also. Don't know what to do next. Any suggestions?

sounds to me that you have an igniton problem not a starter problem and or if you have or had an alarm system could be cause if u do give me feedback and i will explain but seems that your starter is fine from what u say but if you think in terms of the elemts to start a vehicle batery gives pwoer to ignition which sends to starter which gives spark etc i would check you ignition system something is causeing a short and not alowing starter to function

If everything is turning on, and there's power... check for 12V at the alternator. it may be out now.... or a connector came loose, or wire broke.

Try checking relays in the fuse box under the hood. If all checks out ok, check timing belt/chain.
