Hi I own a 1998 prelude and I blew my motor . found a wrecked 1997 prelude with a good motor (started it before I bought the car) pulled it out and dropped it in my 98. I have an alarm system in my car and I lost my keys with the alarm button so i can’t turn of my alarm. got under the car and unplugged the alarm box my car wont start acts like it isn’t getting gas to the motor so I bought new fuel injectors new fuel rail new spark plug and wires new distributor cap and rotor. my question is this could my alarm be keeping my motor from getting gas because it is unplugged? i even changed the ecu out. I am stumped please help me I want to drive my car.

 

Does the motor tuen over when you try to start it? If not the alarm is ur prob most likely.. However I dont think the alarm cuts the fuel off to your motor and if u changed all those things then turn your cars electronics on and listen for the fuel pump if u dont hear it thats prob your prob.

 

yes the motor turns over and when i turn the key i can hear the fuel pump its working

 

oem alarm or after market?

 

the ecu was my problem its fixed now thanks

 

yeah wasn't that an immobilizer (factory ecu) issue?

 

ya
