took the car around the block and came back, turned off, left for 5min, and it started right back up. appears to have a new battery

just got back from another trip around town, turned car off several times, no problems.

i just don't want to end up parking somewhere i cant push it and it not start. has anyone had these problems ? i'm probably going to replace the starter anyway but i want to make sure i shouldn't be looking somewhere else.

by the way, it is an h22a1 motor in a 95 accord. 5spd.

any info would be great! thank you in advance.




ADD---

started out not starting one morning- so i bump started it by overriding starter.

ran fine all day.

day 2 - wont start. wont even bump start. charged batt overnight

day 3 replace starter- no change , while trying to start part of a ground wire burns off.
put old starter back on, now doesnt even try to crank, just dash lights come on- redid ground.
and put new coil on, still no cranking.

seems like now im going in reverse and im totally fed up. looks like its going to go to a shop so i can get raped by an overpriced grease monkey. least the parts were returnable.!

I still believe its a problem in the starting system. Hondas are not that complicated when it comes to starting and charging systems as other vehicles can be.
