Default car wont start

I drove my car this morning to work and it ran fine. I even let it idle and warm up before I drove it about 3-5 miles, didn't beat on it and parked it. I worked for about 7 hours and went to drive home and the piece didn't start. It's a 90 hb si w/d16a6.

Battery connection looks good, starter connection looks good, reset ecu, I think pretty sure all the grounds are connected. I have never had any problems with my starter or battery. I do not have a amp or anything in my car either.

When I try to start it I the dash lights go on as usual, everthing eclectrical works, but I hear a clicking noise right by all the fuses. I think it's a relay. Any ideas? All I can think of is trying another ecu and/or relay. I wanna get this piece started back up tonight, it's my everyday driver!

sounds like u might have a bad battery connection. u should take off the cable clamps and clean the terminals so that theres a good connection. check all of ur fuses too to make sure none of the blew.

LOL! I spent hours trying to figure out why it wouldn't start. I tried a different starter,a jump, different ecu, charged batt, and it just ended up being the ground wire to the battery. Problem solved and it only cost me under $15.00! yeah!
