So, replaced the starter, and that was that issue.
sorry for a late update on the post, but starter was the issue.
Honda dealer just put in a OEM brand new one for 831 bucks. My warranty covered it. But that was the quoted price.
We replaced the aftermarket starter with an OEM Honda one and now it starts up quickly like it should.
My almost stock winter beater has had minimal issues minus exhaust and front end which goes just because the wear and tear. Replaced the original starter last year and alternator a couple weeks ago.
I ordered a used OEM starter for about $60. Because of time restraints and school, I finally got it replaced this past Friday and it works perfect now. The starter isn't sticking to the flywheel when starting now.
I ran the smaller mk3 starter for many years, and it was fine, but now that I have a new-to-me car with the original starter still in it- I prefer that one. It never bogs down, seems to have more torque.
Replaced the starter with a brand new one (Good)
You turn the key and hear the clicks but the starter does nothing!
I pulled the starter, but the auto parts store was not able to test it. I bought a new one, installed it and still nothing.
Volkswagen did something similar with the starters on the 70's/80's Rabbit -- They installed it mere inches from the exhaust, which led to premature solenoid failure. I installed a solenoid bypass button and mounted it under the dash after the 3rd starter replacement in 5 years.
