im assuming its either not getting fuel or spark.

If it was the security key system thingy, the im not thinking it would crank.

Any Check engine lights???

The check engine light is on but I don't have a scanner to check it. The WEIRD thing is that the D, D1..ext all light up even tho the car is in PARK. Does that make since?

not really, but your best bet is to go rent an OBD scanner from AutoZone, O'Reilly's, or Advance and get the code.

Youll narrow your choices down by 1000x if you get the code its throwing.

Electrical problem maybe too?

yep I think its electrical too. Didn't know you could rent the scanner. ROCK ON!! We do not do any automotive repair work here so it didn't make since to go buy a new scanner if not needed!!



Whats the best way to check spark & fuel on that motor?

Well, you can at the ones around me, I think AZ and Advance rent them out, I KNOW O'Reilly's by me does, I used to manage one here in Clarksville.

Pressure test the fuel lines at the Rail,

And pull the coils and the them like you would any other plug im assuming to check if its getting spark. But in any case, pull that code first and foremost, because you may not have to do any of that.

It honestly sounds like something purely electrical to me.

Which fuses should I check. I went over the majority of the one under the dash and the ones under the hood unless I am missing something...???

I think I'm on the right track with that info tho...

THANKS

AWWWWW...

still nothing. I've check all the fuses and RELAYS under the the dash and under the hood and nothing seems to be bad or out of place. Fuel pump fuse & Ignition coil fuses both light up while the car is trying to turn over...but NO FIRE....

I TOTALLY think the problem has something to do with the fact that the D,D1...D2 all light up even though the CAR is in PARK. The P for park is also lite up.

ANYMORE suggestions??

Is there fuses or relays for the transmission??
Are there more fuses or relays other than the ones under the hood and dash??

Have you checked the CEL code? Because that might provide you with some answers.

Have you taken it to Honda yet? Because if you haven't, I'd suggest having them take a look.

Youve got me man. faulty wiring is all I can think.

It IS throwing a DTC though right? if so, thats the key to figuring out the problem.

It's 50bux to get a tow truck to come pick it up, and if the car were still under warranty, then it'd be up to the Dealership to come pick it up.
