    turn the ignition to the on position, leave it there dont crank it....put it in second gear, tell someone to push you down the road...when you get a little of speed let of the clutch slowely (sp)...and it should star...if the car starts like that, than mostlikely it's the starter. If not than I it could many different things.

    As stupid an idea as that sounds. Its true. If you can get the motor to start by turning it slower than what the starter would crank it, than thats going to tell you whether your starters bad or not. My dad taught me this when was 16, and having problems with my first civic.

    Deffinetly sounds like the starter silenoid going bad though.
