Starter Replacement 2006 Acura RSX

I have problem starting the car. I stepped on the clutch and turn the ignition and will hear one click. but, If I rapidly stepping the clutch while turning the ignition, the engine starts. Could this just be a bad starter?

RESPONSE

Yes, the most likely reason would be a bad starter.

• Understanding the Starting System

One click is usually a bad starter or loose connection at the battery. However a loose connection is also accompanied with dash lights going out. A bunch of repeating clicks would indicate a bad or weak battery. Since you are experiencing one click and sometimes it starts and others it doesn’t, a starter replacement would be right course of action.
