Default Starting problem, maybe relay?

So i was driving yesterday and a cop pulled me over...................yada yada yada............ when the cop left i tried to turn on my car and all the lights came on except my car wasnt starting. Went to check if the battery terminal was loose but it was tight, i had to get a buddy to jump me. Now i checked to see if it was battery so i took it to get a test. They said it was 100%. Just wondering if its some kinda blown relay or something annoying like that. The car is a 1995 Honda Civic DX. Thanks

Carlo,

Was the car cranking but the engine was not starting ?
If so, the issue could be the main relay or the ignition control module etc.

If the starter was not cranking, then your issue is probably in your clutch start switch.

Didn't know it mattered. Most of the time there is more than one way of doing almost everything..........as a concession to you, I have forced myself to omit the name of Bob................ LOL

if the car started with a jump, the problem is related to the battery or the battery connection.

its not the battery, i had it checked at 100%. its def not the alternator because she wont die on me on the road. im thinking its either the starter stuck or the main relay. or some ignition wiring problem. im going to take a look at it today with a buddy of mine. thanks guys
