i change my tranny oil on my crx si with a b18a swap...I pour the oil through the VSS...and plug it back in and went to go start the car..at first i get nothing...all i see is the battery light come on and stay on...I took the key out and try to start it again..this time the engine started like there was nothing wrong...so i turn off the car again and try to start it again...but nothing...im not getting power to anything..no lights no nothing...when i turn my car to the ACC all i get is a solid battery light..

I thing I might have knock something loose...i check all my fuse, and connections, also I think it might be a faulty ECU..im using a PR4 from a b18a...anything else i should check for???

TIA

 

did you retighten all of the ground straps?

starter solenoid connection?

starter main terminal connection?

 

yep...the thing is that nothing turns on...even when i dont try to turn the engine over..like when i just turn it to ACC to listen to the radio..nothing turns on...even if i turn the car off and i turn the lights on...or put on my hazards....but the battery isnt dead...car started fine yesterday....

 

Any blown fuses?

 

nope i check that too...all of them...if anything it would be a bad fuse box...but i dont think thats possible, is it?

 

I don't see how the fusebox would go bad from changing the tranny oil.
Time to bust out the schematics and voltmeter.

 

yeah i cant think of y either..the only thing i could think of is the fact that u have all these wires blocking the VSS and when i went to go take the VSS off to pour oil into the tranny i might have loosen one of them up....but damn this is the second time changing my tranny oil has done this to me...first time was i knock the starter wire loose...

thanks for the help so far

 

CHECK GROUND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IF POSSIBLE USE GROUND CABLES FROM INTEGRA............IT WORKED 4 ME

 

sure will...i grounded everything and use 4 gauge..but i will recheck everything...will let u know if that helps..

 

I GURANTEE YOU ITS THE GROUND!

 

Yep ur right....i didnt redue does grounds cause I was gonna relocate the battery to the back...but damn..the ground Wire for crx are damn small and looks like its use to ground the battery and the tranny...

Thanks all...glad to see im not the only one with this problem
