Re: Wont start
you blew your IG or ignition 50A fuse in the under hood fuse box I have done this once and that fuse almost always goes out. Check it and get back to us. Here is the pic of what fuse I am referring to circled in red:

Re: Wont start
Seems good or is good? did you take a long good look at to make sure its intact and not broken in the center? Its either this fuse or another fuse in your interior fuse box like the other ignition fuse or something in there.

Re: Wont start
if you didnt blow any fuses then i would be concerend with the ecu. Try borrowing another ecu to make sure you didnt fry yours. I have done this once wheni was trying to boost a car, i shorted it out and it freid the ecu.

It was in an accord and at the time i got a repalcment ecu from a breaker for 75 bucks. Depending on what ecu you need they can range form 50 to 300 bucks.
What ecu are you using?

Re: Wont start
I paid a bit of money for it and only used it twice to run my car, it does not have the immobilizer in it so it will start and run any prelude with a obd2a ecu plug ins and an h22a engine of course.
