So I own a 1994 dx hatch with an lsvtec swap and Chipped p28 ecu. The other day on the way home the car cuts out on me. All lights come on in the gauge cluster (CEL, SRS, oil, battery, etc...) just like normal as if I stalled it. I went to start it back up and... nothing. Just turning and turning over. This has happened before and I would let it sit for about 5 or so minutes and it would start right back up.... eventually. This time, no luck.

I have full battery power.

Me and a buddy of mine quickly noticed I wasn't getting spark nor was the fuel pump kicking on with the key on.

All fuses are fine.

So I said what the hell and decided to jump the CEL plug and check for codes. I did this and noticed the SRS light was flashing instead of the CEL. I had the code in mind but I forget it now. Does someone have the list of SRS codes?

Anyways, it was late that night so I just got it pulled home and went to bed.

*May be useful info: When I first got the car I noticed an alarm speaker under the fender. The car also has "Viper Alarm" stickers on the windows. I am not aware of any functioning alarm system.

My question is: Can an SRS light cause a car not to start? Does someone have the list of SRS codes? Also, could this be a possible half-assed alarm problem? Thanks in advance.

the alarm doest have anything to do with it.... probably fuel pump fails

GYChris

i doubt that is the case, considering I am not getting fuel OR spark. The reason i was thinking it was maybe an alarm was because of both of them going out at once.

Thanks for the help H-T.

It was just a relay.

Maybe its a ignition kill switch failure to do with the alarm

I know when I drove my car in winter I needed to let it idle for at least 5 minutes otherwise something similar to this would happen.... I have a chipped p28 with 440 cc fuel injectors and a walbro 255 fuel pump. Don't know if thats your case though.

Thanks for the replys though

mine was my fuel pump. i found out the guy put a 20amp fuse in it instead of a 15. i replaced that and mine has never did that problem. check to make sure the fuse is the correct 1.

The main relay underneath the dash? 3 out of my 4 civics has had that problem. Only my 00 Si haven't yet lol.

if there is no spark check you ignition coil.
my car did the same thing.
except for the srs flashing light
