this **** is weird. and for some odd reason.. ive got that feeling that i know what ya'll are gonna tell me. but id like to hear what you got to say...


here's the problem...


good battery. everything's checkd out. BUT... car wont start. it'll crank... but it just.. wont start. when i turn the key, all the lights go on... fuses are good... fluids are cool... but again... it wont start...


got any suggestions on what to do?

here's what ive tried so far...

- my extra key, since i heard that the one im carring might've been uncoded or whatever...

- checkd out fuses one more time to be sure nothing is blown...

- checkd out the spark plugs. although i dont know where the dizzy n rotor are.. im tryin to find out where that is.. so many i could check that out as well.


those are the steps ive taken so far... =\

Starter?

What method are you using to determine that your battery is dead? You mentioned all the lights working but that does not mean the battery has enough 'umph' to start the car. Try jumping it if you can and that would let you know if it is the battery. Cant hurt anything.

Does the immobilizer 'key' light indicate the correct code is present?

i went to checkers yesterday to get the battery charged. just to check if it holds a charge. and they say it does. i waited a good 30 mins to have it checkd.

?Im still kinda new to rsx's. But I just helped a buddy put a type s together from the junk yard.
I know that we swaped a 02 wiring harness for a 04 and we had these extra plugs and what not. We also used the 04 computer. So we hook everything up and try to start her up. fires but wouldnt start. So we read up on it a little bit. found out that the key has a id registration vin number inside the key and if the computer doest recognize the key, it wont turn on the fuel pump. So try running a relay from your battery to your fuel pump and try to fire it up. If so its a key sitsuation.
So we ended up having to get the other key ignition, and keys
for the 04 comp, luckly they were available
dont know if this will help but just my experience
