My 2001 Acura 3.2TL will not turn over

All accessories are working fine. I tried to jump start it without success. There is no noise like a clicking when I try to start it. I have checked the battery connections and they are clean. I checked the starter signal fuse and it is fine. Is there anything else I can try?

Hit the starter while someone holds the key in "start". Make sure your negative battery cable is good. Can you turn the engine over by hand?

SOURCE: Wont start...not the battery. Tried to jump it.

There are a few thing that could cause this. It prob. is not your alt. you would still be able to jumpstart it. I would suggest having your starter checked first. You can have it tested at most auto parts stores for free. It will save you some $$$ if that is not the problem. hope this helps

SOURCE: 95 Acura Integra starting problem

This happened to me on a 95 Integra GSR and the entire starter did not need to be replaced, just the solenoid pieces. They get old and worn down and the plunger no longer makes a good connection with them, hence the "click". Replace the solenoid panels and sand the plunger and your good as new. You can find instructions for this on the net, just do a search for it.

SOURCE: Car won't start ACURA 2000 EL 1.6

best bet is to get the codes read. You prabably have one in either the Security or the PCM module. One thing you havn't said is if you charged the battery up or had it tested.. The clicking from a module could be a sign of a weak battery

SOURCE: car wont start. is not the battery.

The clicking you hear is the starter solenoid trying to fire the starter. Generally an indication of loss of full power to the starter itself.
It can in fact be a bad wire to the starter, weak battery, dirty battery connections, etc. When in doubt try the horn. If it goes full blast look beyond the battery. Start at your battery terminals and clean them, checking the wires there as well for creeping corrosion. Then work your way to the starter connections checking for corrosion and dirt.
If all else checks out the issue is likely in the starter solenoid, internal connections. These wear with age and are replaceable on most Japanese vehicles.

Replaced water pump on 2001 trooper now the starter only clicks...will not turn over

I don’t think the problem is associated with replacing the water pump - the clicking noise is the solenoid on the starter motor not holding in - the Solinoid is either faulty or the battery is too flat to keep it engaged.
Check the battery voltage while it is clicking - or charge the battery - if the problem persists you could pull the starter and get it checked by an auto electrician.

Blazer will not start have gas battery is fine

If I understand you right, it sounds like the starter solenoid went bad and could possibly work again when the engine cooled down. The other scenario is that the ignition switch is bad (on steering column) or the neutral safety switch located on the transmission side. A real fluke would be that the starter BOLTS CAME LOOSE AND JAMMED THE STARTER, IF THIS IS THE CASE LOOSEN STARTER BOLTS, WIGGLE STARTER THEN TIGHTEN BOLTS TO SPECS. 25268178-sbjsv11dlntqjzkc4qi5qeet-5-0.gif

Attempted to jump start my 2001 3.5 rl acura and

10gage cables?
does engine turn by hand? if not,its seized.
the starter can pull 500 amps. (if cold) its called a series wound motor.
and the harder the engine turns, the more amps and HP from this
electric motor. id turn it by hand, if you can turn the engine crank
by hand than try real jumper cable (they cost more) and if they
fail the starter is jammed, or is shorted.
starters can be dead, shorted, open, weak, or jammed.
if the engine spins, take the starter to any autostore, they test it for free.

There is a clicking noise when I attempt to start it. It does not turn over. the lights, etc.. power up except the radio does not power up. Tried jump starting it without success

More then likely it's going to be the starter, easy check have some one hold key at start, while you hit starter with hammer if it start's bad starter replace.

2001 Camry Often Won't Start When Hot Outside Unless Jumped

well is the battery draining over the time its sitting?
could be a bad battery or alternator, and/or you might have something on the car constantly draining power from the battery.
best to have it looked at by a mechanic.

I have a 2001 GMC Yukon. It was running fine until two days ago. I went to start it on Saturday and it would only make a clicking noise. I was able to start it with jumper cables. I drove for an hour...

i had the same exact problem with my chevy s-10, but once i replaced the battery it ran fine no problem, u may have fried some circuits and relays while jumping the car, and alot of times that clicking noise is your relay burning out, did your car start doing weird things too? like ejecting cd's, flashing lights really fast and weird noises?
