Hi, I have a 1990 civic and im having trouble getting it started. when i try to start it the main relay makes a fast clicking noise but nothing else happens. I just charged the battery on a charger outside of the car and the other electronics seem to work. I was able to jump start it with a batter pack starter though but then after driving it for 20 minutes i went into a store and came out and it did the same thing and i had to jump start it again.

My key also gets stuck and wont turn past the standby position or the first position after the all the way to the left off position but before today i just had to charge the battery often and it would work.

Any ideas?



Thanks, Michael
