I have a 90 acura integra and I have this starting problem.  It has
been very intermittent over the past few months, but now it will not
start.  When I turn the key it does not click.  The lights come on,
but the car does not try to turn over.  I have replaced the starter,
battery, battery cables and the ignition swich.  What else can I
check?

Usually when I go to start the card there is a second or two delay,
but it will always start untill now.

Any ideas would be apprciated.

thanks
Ben

Turn on the dome light. Now watch it while you turn the key to "III". What
happens to the dome light? Does it dim greatly? No change at all in
brightness?

I am asking you a very exact and specific question. Your answer tells me
nothing at all. You're even implying that /several/ lamps are dimming, when
I'm concerned about /one/ particular lamp.

I restate my question:

What happens to the dome light?

1) Does it dim greatly? (maybe even dimming to nothing)
2) Does it dim just a little bit?
3) No change at all in brightness?

The point I'm trying to get at here is HOW MUCH the dome light dims. This
is critical. Help me to help you.

Hello Tegger,
There is no change at all in the brightness of the Dome light.

I really do appreciate the help.

Hello,
If you received my last email please ignore it.

The dome light dims just a little bit.

Thank you,

What's the battery's voltage?
How to check (key OUT of the ignition):
1) Turn headlights on for five minutes.
2) Turn lights off, then wait another five minutes.
3) Check voltage across battery terminals.
Should be 12.65V, no less.

How clean are the cable connections from battery to starter, and from
battery to ground?
