I have a 2005 Honda Accord LX 4 Dr Sedan V4 Engine. I recently had problems starting up my car every now and then after my car was stolen and left with a front end damage to the bumper and fender on the driver side. The battery wasn't damaged but I had it checked out and it was pushing about 12 volts but I swapped it with a new battery. After one week of use, the car just stopped working. I don't know if it's an alternator problem or possibly a spark plug problem. I even tried to jump start it and that doesn't work out. The timing belt turns just a little but not enough power goes through it to start the engine.

Are the battery cables clean? Did they mess with the ignition when they stole it?

The cables are clean and I had it relubricated. The car still receives power to light up all the lights and turn on the radio. As to the question of if they messed with the ignition, I have no clue but they put 500 miles on it when I first got the car back from the police impound.

It's possible that your starter is going out. If you can take it off and get it tested at you local Auto parts store.
