i have a 92 civic cx with a 94 ls swap and today i went out and started my car and it started right up. i let it run for about five mins then turned it off. i turned it back on and went to start it and it cranked once then the whole car died. the lights that usually come on with the key turned dont come on anymore(CEL, Battery,SEatbelt,etc.) the fuel pump doesnt come on, nothing, its like the car is completly dead. i have a brand new battery in the car and have tested it numerous times. i am stumped on what it can be so i'm calling out to all of h-t to help. h-t has helped with many other problems, i hope h-t can help again.

 

Check your grounds and go through the fuse box is my guess.

 

i have checked all the fuses in the under dash fuse box and i talked to a honda service tech and they said check the fuses in the under the hood fuse box which i will b doing in the morning so i will update

 

i checked all the under hood fuses and starter wires everything. could it be the ignition switch??

 

i know u said you checked but did u look at the 60 amp battery fuse? just a guess good luck

 

Do the headlights turn ON?

If so, check the ignition switch as you mentioned.

 

4doorek- yea i double checked that fuse just cause you brang it up. lol

ronj- no nothing turns on at all and i just changed the ignition switch and still didnt work.

i will probably be dropping my car off at honda on monday, unless anyone knows of anything else

 

the ground clip on the starter might have came off it did on my hatch and everything went blank i pushed it back in and everything works i had to reset everything though

 

try checking ur wiring to ur wiring to ur battery negative and positive all the way to ur main relay .... because i had this problem but i have my battery relocated to my trunk and one of my cables was loose....

 

I plan on doing an LS Swap in my 93 DX Hatch, I hope I don't run in to as many problems as I have been seeing people have with them.

 

if you do the job the right way and take ur time and make sure u tighten everything right u should be okay .. usually when something goes wrong its mostly something minor

 

4doorek96- what does the clip look like and where on the starter is it located

h22civicsedan- alright i will check the wires and give you an update. do you know what color wires they would be??

 

thanks for all the replies and help. ended up being a ground from the engine to the chassis. thanks

ONLY issue I've ever had with my LS swap into my 92 CX hatch was the oil pressure switch started to leak a little bit, other wise the swap has been FANTASTIC and gets 28mpg being beaten to all hell.
