i have a 1993 Acura Integra LS, most times when i go to start it no matter what time of day it doesnt start right away. Clutch down and key turned all i hear is a click then pause click then pause. the time verys from a few seconds to minutes and in some cases 10mins of clicking. then it'll actually turn over and start. idk the issue. moneys tight, but i...

replaced the starter a few months ago
replaced the battery the other week
alternator tested good and is holding a charge

and on some occasions it starts right up.

idk the issue and i need help isolating the problem without taking into a shop just yet.

Well if you have sparks and fuel pressure then all those related to your distributor are fine. If your alternator still charges and still read 12v+ along with your starter still engaging then those are fine. That goes for batter too, last thing i suggest to check and not many people(s) know to look for this is the Ignition Pigtail contact.
Open up the Ignition cover and take the pigtail out from the cylinder and pop out the cover on the pigtail. Look at the soldered contact to see if it's worn down, if so then replace the pigtail.
The Ignition contact do wear down from years of turning the key on/start/off/on/start/etc..
good luck and hopefully that is the problem.
