as stated, most likely starter, but also possible alternator, sometimes they do go bad even though the small electronics still work.   Most auto parts places can check an alternator to rule that out.
alternator would stop the battery from recharging, not the car from starting.  his electronics are working.

it's either a starter or a distributor

I had an 88 Accord that would randomly die.   Like, sitting at a stoplight, and the engine dies, or stop for gas and won't restart.   The interior gauges, etc. all continued to function but you couldn't get it to turn over at all.    Turned out to be the alternator.

I think we can rule the alternator out because the car didn't just start right up when he put a new battery into it. If the problem were the alternator, the car would have worked great with the new battery and then not worked later on.

Be sure to ask the mechanic to check the blinker fluid.

Could be running low on starter fluid.  Would be my guess.  That or something with your AC/refrigerant.

I actually know someone who fell for this, asked the autoparts store guy i believe.  Wish i could've seen the reaction.

I'm going with starter is bad, or a faulty relay on the starting circuit.

Yup, its the starter

GREAT WORK OUT THERE GUYZ!


Starter

I'm going with starter is bad, or a faulty relay on the starting circuit.

starter.

working electronics suggests that it is not your alternator, but that would be my 2nd guess
