I was driving today for about 2 hours, arrived home and turned the vehicle off. when I tried to turn it back again it won't start. I have full battery and you can hear the car click when turning the key but it won't start. Could it be the sarted silenoid? gas has anything to do with it? I have low gas.

Hi tobi2020,

It should be the starter or battery and connections.

Check for loose cable connections.

Give the starter some vibrations by tapping with a mallet or hammer.

If the starter kicks, then most probably the carbons are worn.

If there is a click, the solenoid is working but the contacts might be bad. There two types of starters used on Hondas and if it utilises the contact type, changing the contact points should help.You can test the motor by applying power to it, bypassing the solenoid.
