my honda doesn't want to start, in the morning it starts with one crank but as soon as I drive and I switch off the car and I want to start again then it doesn't want to start. When I take a piece of wire on positive connector on starter and other end on the starter (where the starter wire is) then it starts. I do not know what the problem with it is. It's a 2000 model honda ballade vtec shape
Does somebody know why my car won't start?
Please help.
It sounds like your starter solenoid is bad. You starter solenoid has two pieces to it.
The signal it takes from your ignition switch triggers a magnet the turns another switch
when the magnet is activated it closes another circuit for your starter. This gives your starter current from the battery to turn over your engine.
If I get what your saying, you are manually activating your starter with a wire to turn over your engine which means your starter is ok.
Based on the info I would guess that your either your starter solenoid or ignition switch are where the issue resides.
Mind you this is a guess based upon limited info.
