Hello,
I have an 89 integra and i went out to try and start it this morn and it kicked over , but acted as if the battery was dead...I turned it over a last time and it just clicked... This has happened once before about 2 weeks ago but my neighbor gave me a jump start and at that time it started right up...and I havent had anymore problems until now... I had someone give me a jumpstart again.. When i turned the key over, it kicked over but still sounded really weak..so i turned it again and absolutly nothing! The terminals are on secure, so i figured that wasnt the prob... The battery isnt very old i dont believe...it looks somewhat new but I just recently bought this vehicle so maybe i am wrong, could it have possibly just drained all the battery fluid out trying to start it?.. I dont think it is the alternator because once my car was running it never attempted to die or anything... So i am just asking for some feedback on what could be wrong. Any advise would be good!
~ Thanks
