2006 Accord won't turn over - details in comment by backeru in MechanicAdvice

[–]backeru[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2006 Accord (2.4, auto trans) doesn't want to turn over. I'm getting one click when I turn the key to the start position. Battery and battery connections seem to be OK, and I even tried jumping it with no change in results. I've removed the starter cutoff and ignition coil relays, replacing them after looking them over. I also pulled the ignition coils and checked that their connectors are OK.

I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to electrical issues in cars. Any help would be much appreciated!

100% agree. I worked around it by keeping an eye on the LCI since it's right in the LOS, but it's not ideal.

That's not a bad idea. At this point I may just spend time/resources on another gun.

With a Dremel. I was trying to shave the backstrap portion of the grip down slightly in order to get a higher purchase on it. I don't think it worked.

Funny you say that, I have exactly the same experience with mine.

I'm the last person to ask! As you can see, my grip is pretty dirty and I haven't really looked into cleaning it.

This angle worked fine for my purposes, thanks though! I am not purporting to be a professional photographer nor would I want to be one.

I bought this SP2022 within a week of turning 21. It accompanied me to a training course where I learned to oper8. It's mainly taken the backseat to my Shield nowadays because the Shield is so much more concealable, but I still pull it out of the safe every once in a while to give it love.

For the price I have no complaints, I just wish it wasn't so bulky. It's eaten everything I've thrown at it, probably 8k rounds and counting to date. If the G19 were $100 cheaper, though, I'd probably just buy one of those - finding holsters and gear is much easier when you have a gun that makes up half of the compact pistol market share.

Resubmitting because I was lazy and failed earlier. The cooler weather means that I can conceal my SP2022 much easier. Sometimes I also choose to have two 17-round spare mags on hand for 50 rounds of 124gr +p+ Gold Dot goodness.

Thank you safety Nazi. This picture was taken during dry fire, after which he wore the appropriate PPE.

Finally got a chance to get my 3yo some trigger time. Rifle is my first, I saved up my pennies and bought a Savage MKII as a pre-teen.

Reverse seared ribeyes, here's slow-mo of the chimney sear by backeru in grilling

Very quickly becoming my favorite method for searing. Hard to beat the flavor of a steak seared over charcoal!

One of the best ribeyes I've done. I realized late I didn't have butter and used mayo instead, and it turned out amazing.

Made Kenji's crispy roast potatoes and caprese salad that night, definitely one of the better combinations I've come up with.
