Civic = Honda-Tech
Eclipse = go somewhere else

is it a new car?or used with custom things done to it or what,ive heard of some people using the cigerette lighter as a starter kill,they disconnect the wiring on the back and rewire it to a relay,the relay then interupts the starter wire,it lighter acts as a jumper to start the car,plus you can take it out and carry it with you,i doubt this is the problem but you never know,lol.
