Something is wrong
Recently, my car, a 2006 Honda Civic Ex, will die. Then not start. There is a rapid clicking or ticking when I try to start it. After about an hour or so, it will start and be just fine until it decides to do it again. Nobody seems to know what is going on. Check engine light only comes on when it dies. If anybody has an idea please let me know!
FYI: starter, battery, and battery cables have all been replaced.

Re: Something is wrong
Are the battery cables clean and tight? Can you check the battery voltage with the engine on/off?

Had the voltage checked and it has more than enough power. Battery cables are brand new and tight. Alternator is sending a charge just fine.

Re: Something is wrong
Since rapid clicking happens when there is an amperage/voltage issue perhaps chech the related relays.
