Hello everyone I've been looking through the site and it seems great and have been having an issue of my own and hopefully i can get it resolved.
I have a 1992 civic hatch 5 speed with the d15B 50k professionally installed and has been running fine no problems until a few days ago. When i turn the key all i hear is 1 click, all lights/chimes and everything work so its not an electrical issue... today i tried boosting it with my buddys van and all i got was the 1 click every time i turned the the key. so i popped the hood assuming it could be the starter but i wouldn't see why since i haven't had problems with it unless they just decide one day its the day to stop working.. i tried the old screw driver to starter it would spark and the fan would come on and id hear that "woosh" noise from up by the defrost like something is opening/engaging. the clicks increased rapidly "clickclickclickclickclick" but still wouldn't turn over. would gas be an issue its almost on E?

Note: Push starting the car works first shot never has failed me.
Note: theres a little green corrosion on the wire that goes to positive on the starter retard didn't wrap it so that may be an issue?
Note: My battery is a little weak i think since the winter has came, the guy i bought the car off in early December told me he had it sitting a month prior to selling it, i have a new one on the way though so this could be my whole problem but wouldn't it still boost with cables? or not?, terminals are new and grounds are fine.
Any idea whats wrong with my car please and thank you?
