hello all, so here is my problem i pulled the car 92 cx JDM B18C swap in for the winter to do some cleaning, anyways i am putting it all together now i put the key in turned it and i get nothing at all no lights, radio nothing ive checked everything i can think of i am still new to the game, so any advice would be great. ive searched but all i find is car will not start but has power. thanks

 

buddy have you ever thought your battery dies?????????

 

lol yup checked that put the battery in from my ek. thanks tho

 

Alternator or ground wire, possibly ground at thermostat.

 

ok update i checked the thermostat ground its good. but i have hondataS300 and i have a plug that is hooked up to the ecu and runs through the firewall its not plugged in and i cant find out where it goes. thanks again

 

sometimes you have just disconnect all your grounds and then reconnect them. make sure you clean the metal where the ground wires make contact.(sand off any paint untill its just metal to metal)

 

sounds good ill try this. thanks

 

I had the same exact problem with my civic also, it turned out to be were the positive and negative terminals are at the battery happened to get all nasty and rotted out and caused my car to sometimes start right up or not start at all and have nothing work. I would also pay close attention to your charging system to make sure your alternator is giving your battery a full 14.6 toward that battery.

One last thing i would check is your starter is it cranking over really really slow if so it could be the cause of nothing working if all the voltage from the battery is trying to get that starter going i would check all your connections.
