1998 honda accord (starting problems)
I have recently had a problem with my car starting. It will start right up but if I cut it off, it won't start back up. The interior lights get really dim. I thought it was the battery but U have had it recharged and tested at AutoZone and I've been told both times.. "Good Battery." I noticed that whenever I raise the hood after I have problems starting it, my battery is wet. Once I take the battery cables off, dry off the battery and the battery cables, and put them back on, the car starts without a problem. I was told that something was making my battery "overcharge" so I went and got my alternator tested... "Good Alternator." Im really getting annoyed by this because my car does this 3 or 4 times DAILY now! Any suggestions would be HIGHLY appreciated!

You obviously have some sort of electrical drain going on there that makes the interior lights dim. The part where the car starts and runs OK and then won't start sounds like a coil going bad (or solenoid). Don't know why your battery would be wet. Would suggest you also get a sealed battery to see if it gets "wet".
