What kind of Honda do you have? I think the standard Accord needs 525 Cold Cranking Amps - your link only has 225.

“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

That's why it's good to talk to someone. The first one I bought said it would work on all Honda compacts (I bought it for my daughter's Civic) but it was just under the threshold to crank it.
I had to return it to upgrade to the better model and the guy at the counter said that was a common issue with these things.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

My first car was a 1974 VW Beetle with a dodgy starter. Believe it or not hitting it with a mallet actually got it to start working again. It took me ~ two weeks to save up the money for a new starter as I was only making $4.25 per hour working part time at K-Mart so the mallet thing came in handy. I either did that or just gave it a rolling start and then popped the clutch. Thankfully those old bugs were really light weight and the 1930's era engines were low compression so that only you needed was to get to 3-4 mph and you could get it started.Originally posted by Bugs ****ing Bunny View PostCan you see the starter? If you can, get a mallet or something else nicely hefty, and hit it.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

On a different note just soak the terminals in water and baking soda and that will solve that problem. If you want to get really fancy you can buy that purple terminal gunk which prevents corrosion from building up on the terminals. It should cost $5 for a bottle though doing the baking soda trick 2-3 per year would do the same job for ~$0.10 per year.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostYeah, cause the battery terminals never corrode on a Ford.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

Bottle of coke works fine as well.It should cost $5 for a bottle though doing the baking soda trick 2-3 per year would do the same job for ~$0.10 per year.

Michelin's rating system is rather crap in that it only does cities which they have a guide book from Michelin. That means it basically only serves western Europe and the US east coast though I understand they're trying to expand coverage in Asia and the US. At the end of the day there are far, far better restaurant ratings systems out there. ****, Michelin didn't even start rating in the US until 2005 and then it was only in NYC. In 2007 they added San Francisco, in 2008 one guide for both LA and Las Vegas, and I'm not even sure if they've released a guide for Chicago yet. They just don't cover much of the US.Originally posted by Captain ******* Kirk View PostHow many Michelin starred restaurants does Pittsburgh have?
For the US Zagat, Gayot, the New York Times, the LA Times, Mobile/Forbes restaurant guide (Forbes now runs the Mobil guide), or even websites like Chowhound are better.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.
