I recently bought a 92 lude and I got it started when i boosted it, but when I thought the problem was because of the battery i changed it and still no good.
I'm wondering if this could have to do with some ignition issues...
i'm a honda virgin when it comes to this stuff so... any tips?

Does the starter crank or when you turn the key you get nothing?

its wierd, sometimes it just spins (i just tapped the starter like you do to other cars and that worked)
and others its just dead. i turn the key over and everything lights up and then i crank it and the battery is dead.

if tapping the starter helped, then it is def starter related, bad solenoid or something

alright ill probably take it off and get it tested.
thanks for the help

but if the new battery is dead after trying it a few times something is live and draining juice.. old speaker wire perhaps or alarm..a light???

oh i see.
i'll check for any loose wires and anything that might be on.
haven't had a chance to give the car a look over yet, but i'll definately look thoroughly at all these things. thanks a lot
