check plugs, check immobilizer key, check fuel, battery, starter. Click usually means dead battery.

if the battery dies, can you jumpstart it? i heard from a honda tech, that in the newer gen vehicles, that it is bad for the car to jumpstart it. iono if this is true or not. well if it is, then could you just get the batt and recharge it at like a local pep boys or autozone?

either or.. i dont think jumpstarting is exactly "good" for any car.. you can always just disconnect the batter and jump it that way then hook it back up to try it..

also make sure yer ac/heat fan is off that lil sucker draws a "lot" of power which can make cold starts even harder

jumpstarting should always be a last resort. Battery replacement is supposed to be what you do when the car wont start, when it is a battery issue. jumpstarting can have effects on the computers in the car. It can send unwanted voltages that can harm them.
