HELP enigne not starting up!!!
 

this is first time car wont fire after 3 and half years of ownership, currently it has 73k miles on it with full intake and catted turbo back, nothing serious. but weir thing is when i try to start my car tonight, i can hear the engine is sparking but it only last about 1 second the car just died!! all lights and power work just fine, so ok i though ecu is acting stupid, reset the battery and plugged back on, try to start the car, this time car when spark at all but all lights work fine, so i was like WTF? so i decide to light a jack up and thinking about what was going on here, then i founded out when key is in the "on" position the CEL would blink 6-7 time and sit still there? is this a problem? when key in the on position the CEL just light up there, it never blinks before??. after sitting in the car for like 10 mins, the reaction of my car is telling me something similar when my previous honda wont fire(bad starter), so i rolled the car to downhill(i parked my car on 2nd floor of local garage), boom the car started up. fuck this isnt a fun thing to push this lil fat boy all by myself.yea finally i got the car running again, after i drove it home(no cel), turned the ignition off and turned it back on, shit same thing happened again, is this really a bad starter? i drive this car everyday for 3 years and half, usually on and off 2-3 times a day. or something else is bad?? someone with knowledge please help me out, i need this car running 2moro for work otherwise i would get fire!!!!

Sounds like your starter to me.

Clean the starter wire and get sand paper and clean the terminal pin on the stater. I had a couple of ms3 with that problem.

^^^^^^^^^^^this^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 

...and if the "clean-up" does not work possible bad starter and/or solenoid.

And if there was a clicking noise during attempted start check & clean the battery terminals as well.

Wish I was a tech & could help more, but that's all I got.

thanks for the tips! i found out by messing with that lil clip on the starter would help to start the car back up!! but what was the problem will cause this to happened??

Uh...
 

...corrosion on the clip maybe? Loose clip?

Or clip out of position & not making contact?

Anyhow, kudos for chasing the issue down successfully.

check this out they haven't update for the ms3 only for the regular 3. But notice this problem a lot on ms3

^^^good find Pablo hopefully I won't need this done 2 my car as I haven't had any starting problems since summer time.
