your gonna burn out your starter. If it wont start right away give it some gas while you turn it. Dont keep the key on, you WILL burn out your starter ~$600.

It's probably the ignitor, a cracked cap, or a bad (transmission-side) ground strap.Go to www.honda-tech.com and use the search feature, looking for term "ignitor".

you have to check two things the place where you put in there the key, it has many cables and contacts and the other thing the starter just two things has that problems
