Check voltage and current draw, then compare as follows:
a. On except 1992 Civic, cranking voltage on 1.0kw starters should be no less than 8.5 volts and current draw should not be more than 230
amps.
b. On except 1992 Civic, cranking voltage on 1.4kw starters should be no less than 8 volts and current draw should not be more than 350 amps.
c. On 1992 Civic, all starters should have a cranking voltage of no less than 8 volts and current draw should be no more than 400 amps.
d. Cranking voltage on 1.6kw starters should be no less than 8 volts and current draw should not be more than 380 amps.
d. Engine speed when cranking on all starters should be above 100 RPM. If engine speed is not at least 100 RPM, check for loose battery or
starter terminals, worn starter brushes, open circuit in commuter segments, dirty or damaged helical spline or drive gear, and defective drive
