alternator doesnt start a car, battery and starter do. I would test the battery first than do the starter

i just replaced the battery like a month ago because it had a dead cell the car is still under warranty (sp?) but do you think honda can claim it is due to any mods ive done to my car?

the alternator goes bad then it drains the battery. this souds like the starter is bad or battery...

you can replace the starter yourself, its fairly simple but no, if they replaced the battery than thats the battery...starter is a whole different problem and you will get charged up the ass for the part and labor
