Default D4 light is blinking, CAR WONT START, 2000 Prelude Auto...Please help

The car was running fine, i didnt notice anything different before it crapped on me. turned the car off, less than 5 minutes later i tried to start it and nothing.

The D4 light blinks, as soon as the key is in the ON position.
The Gear Selector on the dash moves and lights up according to the shifter.
The Engine turns over, but car wont start in any gear; (P, R, N, D4, etc.)
Where should i start? Car is a 2000 Prelude with a Crap-Tronic Transmission.

i tried getting the engine codes off of the car but when i jump the blue connector (next to the OBDII connection), and try to retrieve the codes, nothing happens....

also, the fuel pump doesnt kick on when i turn the key to the ON position..

Are you sure that you used the correct holes? The clip that you jump has 4 holes in it. Only two of those holes have electrical connections.

It was worth double-checking. No offense was intended.

I am having the same problem on a 94 Honda Accord. Can you tell me where that black wire was that you saw loose?

Thanks.
