Yesterday my car would not start and the lights did not work either. I popped the hood to check the battery but before I got of the car I tried to start the car one more time. This time it started the first time. After I got inside the check engine light was off, but the car was running fine.
Btw its a 97 civic with a d16y7

Try checking your grounds. Mines did the same thing a while back but I sort of took the interior apart and I didn't realize I left a ground that was under the driver seat loose so it turned on fine and suddenly shut off when the ground moved and didn't wanna turn on again and when it did this none of my dash lights worked, like if the car just completely died.


Did you do anything to thecar prior to this happening or it just randomly happened.
