I just picked up a new odyssey pc680 battery have it sitting in the trunk of my other car , I will put in on the evo when I get home like in 5 hours . I will post the results to see how it goes.

 

probly have a terminal loose somewhere. Either battery pos at the starter or on the actual battery.

 

It's totalled.

 

I think you should not mod your car at all, or if you've started already, put it back to stock. There will be many more things going wrong that will cause you to have a stroke if something this easy makes you 100% fed up.

Speaking of red tops, my Eclipse eats them up, I think I'm going to go back to the stock battery. I hope the day never comes when I HAVE to use something else besides at least a stock sized battery in my Evo. I'm not so sure Optimas are as good as they say anymore.

 

Did you try push starting it?

 

Lol

 

hahaha. nice

 

Streetevo you are right about needing a good battery to troubleshoot charging system but if he can't jump it off another running healthy car, why would you assume a new battery will help him... It wont... I still say the problem is at the starter.

Few years back my supra had this issue. Had a odyssey small batt, blamed it for this same starting issue. Turns out the ground to the starter didn't have good contact. Cleaned it, sanded the crap off, problem solved! Didn't waste my money on new battery

 

Dude, I cant believe you haven't tried to push start the car to rule out the problem being the starter.

 

The battery is shot i bet 100%. Clicking sound indicates other electrical components are getting funky volt readings. you cant really put these tiny **** batteries through much or they take a **** quick on you.

 

I just got installed my brand new odyssey pc680 and the car wont start I still get that clicking sound . I went to Pepboys and bought another battery a regular big battery and installed it in the car and I still get the clicking sound. Is there any way to check if the starter is fried up?

 

Try this, or hit the starter with a hammer while someone cranks it over. Cmon people

 

do what warp said, and for what its worth there was many of these posts on evom and it was the starter.. the evo starters must suck for cold weather.

 

Have you had any issues with car besides the battery going dead lately? Have you tried to spin the engine over by hand, i.e. with a ratchet/breaker bar? Do that just to make sure the engine isn't locked up at all.

Yes there is a way to check the starter, but you need it out of the car. Take one of your batteries, hook a set jumper cables to it, and the other end to the starter(negative to the starter housing, positive to the lead where the positive cable bolts to it).

 

thanks man I will try that right now ..thanks for helping and NOT critizing like other members here hope one day the people that acting like assh*** need help and people ignored them they think they just know it all
