    '99 Honda EXL will not start.
    The car has been running fine. Yesterday it would not start. The battery is good (verified).
    There is a click when the ignition is engaged. Starter? Or Solenoid?
    Does this need to be done from under the car?
    How hard?

    Could be either starter or solenoid. In Nippondenso starters, common to Honda, the solenoid is on the starter. Depending on what engine you have and accessories, you may be able to get the starter out from the top but most come out the bottom.

    Replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil inside the distributor. Be sure to apply silicone heat transfer grease to the back of the new ICM.
