My 1990 integra Gs wont start unless i jump start it and keep it runing.... and if i shut it off it wont turn back on unless i jumpstart it again!...

What could be the issue? alternator or battery? i have another battery from my 1993 integra i connected negative and positive right but it still wouldnt turn on or even make a sound when i try turning it on would i hafve to boost it so it could start and keep it running for a bit with the other battery?

 

battery.

when you start it without it jump started. does it click. or did it click.

 

it doesnt click... it did before tho ...

 

100% battery

i had the same problem with my dc.

 

so what should i do jump start the new battery i put in...?

 

check starter / replace starter

if you jump start and let idle for like 15min or
take it for a rip it will charge up your battery

 

how could i check the starter..

and the thing is when i put my key in no lights or anything like that opens everything pretty much is off..

 

The starter has nothing to do if the battery has no voltage. Take the car to a shop and get them to do a AVR test on it, that will test the battery and the alternator, and that test will tell you if the battery is good or not, and it will also tell if the alternator is charging or not.

It's not always the battery people, you must look at the whole circuit not just one part of it.

 

I assumed the battery he had from his 93 teg had sufficient charge to start the car..

 

it was the fuses... so now all the lights turned on but wont start and mechanic said it was the starter why pay him 170 for labor:S:S:S:S if i could do it myself told it was easy

their 2-3 bolts i know and what are the sizes? because ill be needing a socket wrench with an extension..

Any tuturials with images or somhting?

 

yo bro. u remember that red bolt. there is one more on the other side. remember those 2 bolts we took off the top. those stay on. I just looked at my sterter whick i have in my garage. just two red bolts. one on each side.

 

lol yehh thats what i thought but everyones saying its the two visable bolts on top lol ppl dunt no der ---- hah

but yeh a guy is picking up the tranny soon so hell take it off
