'89 Honda CRX HF Won't Turn Over -- Suddenly.?
 
I have an '89 CRX HF that randomly stopped working one day this week. It won't turn over, it just clicks and tries to start, but won't. The battery is new. The alternator was replaced sometime last year (I believe). My friend gave me a jump and it started that way, and I was able to drive for 35+ minutes fine but found myself in the same situation when I tried to start it again. Started fine with a jump yet again. It seemed that when I was at a stop light, my headlights began to dim, but when I gave it some gas (in neutral), they seemed to brighten up... I don't know much about cars. Any help, pointers, suggestions, tips, etc. will be VERY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

i had the very same problem with my accord and i had thought it was my fuel pump cuz i couldnt hear it truning on so i replaced that, it still didnt want to turn over so i ram it on a diagnostic chart and found out i had a lack of spark. so i replace the igniter in the distributor and she was all good
