    Default problem starting my civic

    i have never had a problem starting my car. but two days ago, it wouldn't turn over; but the battery was working(like the radio, my guages, and my air compressor.) then the next day it started fine. Now today it is completly dead... could this be a battery problem??? or an alternator problem???

    did you hear a clicking noise or anything? It could be a bad fuel relay, or a starter,or that your battery connections were not tight. Hard to tell with such vague info. Need more info.

    i know right??

    shit then, go get a new battery and if that doesnt work, by process of elimination, you got it....if it was your alternator, it wouldnt have recharged your battery the first time it died....
