Default Car Quit Starting (honda content inside)

Car: 1994 Honda Civic DX
Motor: d16Z6
Problem: Car quit starting?!?!?!

The Story:
I drove the car to work this morning and everthing was fine, not a single issue or complaint. Leavin work this evening went to start the car and nothing! It wouldnt even attempt to turn over. Buddy of mine tried giving me a jumpstart and still nothing, finally ended up drift starting the car and it fired right up. Got home this evening turned the car off and immediately tried starting it again and it wouldnt turn over. I am puzzled?! Just wonderin if anyone on here had an idea or suggestion. Thanks in advance

The starter solenoid could be bad. Pull the starter and get it tested.

The actual relay itself? Your 'start' signal may not be making it to the solenoid, or your starter power may not be getting there.

You know, I had a problem just like this a week or two ago. My engine wouldnt turn over. All I heard was a click. I pulled the starter and had it tested at Advance Auto and it passed. Twice. So I spent the WHOLE DAY trying to diagnose it. As it turns out, it WAS the starter. It had a dead spot in the armature. Replaced it, it was perfectly fine. When they tested it, did it spin? Mine did and passed and the second time it didn't and passed. Keep testing it to see if it slows down or stops, or talk to one of the guys at whatever store about it.

I have unplugged the box but still nothing but when I unplugged the box the clicking relay sound stops...any suggestions now?
