01 Civic Reconnected Battery. Won't Start

Alright guys here is thing. A while back I was having problems with my car starting. I suspected it was the starter. Took it to Autozone and it was completely shot so I bought another one. Put it in and the car still would not start. It would just do a clicking noise. I got frustrated and a few days later came back to it and it started up just fine...wierd. I went away for a month and came back and car started up fine. I disconnected the batter to hook up my amp to it and reconnected the battery and now it is doing the same thing. Just clicking and won't turn over at all. I find this very wierd. Any ideas? I did have the battery tested as well. So i'm not sure what is going on here.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Bust out a volt meter and get to testing.

Have someone try to crank it while you check for battery power at both of the starter wires.

Then measure grounds.


Google how to do voltage drop testing.


Junk cheapo DangerZoo starter.
