Default HELP!!!!!!! 98 Civic coupe w/99 GSR wont start after drive

98 Civic Coupe w/99 GSR swap

Hi , well i started the car this morning heading to work 30 min drive , parked the car. I tried to swap TEST a Skunk2 ECU , i pumped a the gas pedel a few times to see if it would start it didnt,after that car didnt want to turn on it cranked but nothing , so i switched back to the stock ecu P72 and the car doesnt even crank or nothing!!!

anyone know what this might be?. i mean the car fired up and started this morning with a ease now it wont even crank. If a engine is flooded with fuel would it even crank??

Start by checking spark and fuel. Any CEL codes?

You probably have a loose connection at the battery or the single plug in the starter

Check the clutch switch at the top of the clutch pedal. The rubber stopper may be broken or has fallen out.

Also, if you wire power directly from battery to the starter, the starter crank the engine?

You may be able to recover the CEL code by jumping the service connector, even though the engine won't start. But your main problem right now seems to be with the starter circuit, so focus there.
