Ok so i just get the car back. drive it home and park it for a couple of hours go back out later that night and the car wont start. The starter doesnt even click, i dont hear the fuel pump priming, interior clock wont come on, windshield wipers wont move. Radio still plays, Headlights are bright. Jumping the car didnt do anything, new main relay, ECU seems to be ok. What am i over looking

 

possible timing belt

 

I really dont see how it could be a timing belt. since the car doesnt even crank over. I thought maybe all of those eletrical pieces might have a common power source, fuse or relay, but i cant get a hold of a haynes till later tonight

 

my girlfriend had this problem with her celica a while ago. we went inside to watch the sopranos came out and her car wouldnt start/crank. lights were on radio etc...turned out to be the t-belt...i dont know just trying to help based on past experience.

 

what about the timin belt went wrong. jump a tooth etc

 

t-belt broke...original with 120,xxx miles on it

 

its not the belt.

 

Check the ignition switch maybe? Sound like a weird issue, especially since the dash clock gets its power from the radio in most cases.

 

ignition was the next place too look.

 

check your relays battery fuse your battery cables

 

checked the fuses and relays, nothing outta the norm

 

ignition switch

 

I could be wrong but you might want to check your distributor or coil.

yes you are wrong, but it's ok

 

Do you have an alarm installed in the car?

 

the reason why i say it could be the distributor or coil is because it happend to me one time, i was driving and my car died all of a sudden, it was not the battery, some people told me it was my motor and that it was blown, WTF i knew that wasn't the problem and so my dad checked my car and he doesn't even know much about hondas told me could be my distributor or coil and so i got a new coil and he was right, my car started running normal again

none of those symptoms have anything to do with the coil, as the coil only provides spark....he is not even getting power to the coil

the ignition switch is a multi-function switch that transmits power to numerous components upon start-up....if a few of these contacts inside the switch are deteriorated, the power to components will not transfer, as in the case he is having

 

It was the ignition switch. thx for all the help
