bump

 

got fuel? spark? did you check your timing belt?

 

i cant check anything no power what so ever... battery is okay... all grounds are good... i dont know wtf could be causing this

 

the line to your start is direct from the battery. is there power at your starter ?

 

when you try to start it does it turn over or anything or act like its gonig to start?

 

ya its getting power

look.... no power people... nothin....

 

under your hood there is a fuse box, open the lid and there should be a big square fuse 60 amp and it has 2 screws that hold it down, i bet you its blown.

 

thats what i was just gonnna say. if its not blown check power to there, then check power after the fuse. lets us know what you get

 

check ur distributor homie. mah car use to shut off by it self too.
good luck.

 

fuse is not blown... but i will check power before and after the fuse.. also on the dizyyy what signs am i looking for?

thanks for all the help too...

 

Man if you are not getting power I would definately check the Battery to Starter cable. Make sure that has power.

 

are you getting sparks? if not check your dizzy. dizzy goes bad and sometimes locks up.if thats the case youll need to replace that. or check your coil if its still good. meaning not melted. cause mine did. check your caps and rotor.

 

did you take it out and look at it good? you cant really tell with keeping it on the box, if that fuse is not blown then there is no reason your car wouldnt be geting any power at least to the lights or anything like that, thats pretty much the only link between your car battery to the electronics in your car,

you said you had no power what so ever, do your lights come on? radio? anything?

 

not a god damn thing.... it was at night when i was checking this gay ****... but i see that the fuse is burned but not broken... lets hope that this is the small **** thats keeping me from running the car.. (battery fuse) cause its getting power before fuse but not after...

 

its probably broken then, i dont think vatozone sells it, i think you have to get it from honda, hope your car doesnt get towed by the popo's

after you fix the fuse you still need to look at it and try to figure out what caused the fuse to blow.

 

well i had to replace the entire engine bay fuse box.... so i dont know what the **** happened... but the help was greatly appriciated.. thank you

 

wow that sucks, i wonder what caused that to happen, is your battery tied down? or is your intake (assuming you have one) close to the battery terminal? it might have arced or actually touched metal causing the battery to ground out against the chasis

Why the hell did you do that?

 

Ok this is ridiculous "yeah it gets power" ... then "no power people!!" lol wtf

Understand this:

1. If you jump the car does it start?
No? That means the problem is with the battery or connections to it.
A. Possibly shorted out battery, jump positive and negitive cables without the battery connected. See if it gets power.
B. A ground wire came off, no circuit.. (understand electricity works by forming a circle, any break in that circle, no power.

2. I can jump the car, and it starts, yay... But i unhook the cables and it dies
This is likely your alternator.

Also NEVER assume your battery is good unless its brand new, or out of another running car.
Most peoples power problems stem from the battery not being able to handle the load due to age. You can get 12 volts with a volt meter but only have 1 amp hour of charge in it. So it won't crank

hey asshat, read the entire thread,

the car was getting no power but the battery had 14 volts,

so that only means it could be the cables or the fuse block under the hood,
If you would of read the entire thread you would see the part where he said the problem was fixed.

Thankyoucomeagain
