Engine start problems

Honda Civic 2007  200000 miles
I thought it was the battery, but I got it checked checked and the technician said that both the battery and the alternator were fine. Later I went to do some shoppings, I got off the car and when I returned It just wouldn't start. It just makes a little sound because of the starter.

Buddy, check the starter motor, It's possible that the brushes are worn out, this is a typical symtomp of starter wear.

Radio problems wonky

Honda Civic 2006 LX Coupe 134069 miles
This is happening to me. I had starter, battery, alternator replaced and ignition control module. It still is wonky. It goes from am to FM to aux, to not working to turning on and it being very loud and it just beeps and beeps. It's crazy. I believe it's another faulty ignition control module. But the dealership won't even consider it being that. I explained to them that when they first put it in it worked great and after a day it's bad again and now my key fob with new battery does not lock/unlock my car. They key works great but that's my issue. I only have 134k miles.

How To Program Honda Remote Key FOB Transmitter Without a Scan Tool

Regarding radio should be code for honda civic.
My one goes blank no radio asking fo code.
That happens after new battery changed.
My code for original civic 2004 radio is 46453
If helps you a lucky.

Also if engine sign pops up after some fuses change or the other parts: My resume is:
Helped just disconnect the battery both + and - for a 1minute and connect them back. Start a car again. Sign disappeared. That's my story.
Hope that helps.

Engine will idle for 4 minutes then cuts out

Honda Civic 2005 1.6 V-TEC Hatchback 90000 miles
I have a 1.6 petrol vtec 2005 civic and it starts ok and idles fine for 3-4 minutes then cuts out.
I have replaced the alternator, but this hasn't helped and the issue remains.
Does anyone have a similar issue, or have informed suggestions as to what the problem may be?
