Default Rsx 02 starting problem!!!! Please help :-(

Helping my friend rsx, he bought it
From. Someone that it wasn't running, here's the problem, motor is fine, but no crank(starter dont turn) no Cel or light won't come one at all, no fuel prime, fuel pump dont come on at all, but everything's else come on, even maintenance light come on,
Replace ecu, charged the steering column with a matching key, still the same, battery full charged, check all fuse, replace with known good
Relay, still nothing, if u click it just right on starting, it will make a buzzy noise on the red relay, and check engine and anti theft wil flicker. But no starter or fuel prime. I m running out of idea plus I m new to k series, any idea, nay be something happen before? Any info will help,
The person we got it from said car drive fine and park for the night and come out in morning, and it went dead, replaced starter and nothing, they said they checked starter was getting 5v, I don't know what the anti theft actually do, cut starter too???? Anyway thanks

sounds like it's out of your hands. You probably want to tow it to a shop at this point and bite the bullet.

Do you have a power tester? I would check all of the circuits for good power and bad grounds.

Also, check your grammar lol makes it hard to read.

Sorry bro, I was in a hurry.
We thought about that, but I been working on Honda for 14 Yrs, and tuning over 3 Yrs, I don't want to give up yet, lol.
I just all the fuses, point to point they are all good,
I think relay, something is keeping the ecu from thinking, either no signal being send to ecu to tell it come on or something

Hey CRX! I found out my problem towards my Acura RSX not starting up! WHITEHF, this might help you out! I have a Manuel tranny, so what I did was I pumped the clutch pedal while turning the key and it worked. Yup, as simple as that. I guess something was wrong with the clutch safety switch. So I decided to run a wire from the starter direct to a push start switch I have inside the car. Now I have to make sure before I start the car that it's in neutral. LoL... But it's up and running everytime! Nice... Hope this helps you..

So i replaced my fuel pump relay and fuel pump and car is still not starting...my car wasnt starting be cause i had a loose ecu connector. when i turned it to the on position and pushed the connector in, i heard the click from the fuel pump relay and my CEL came on. ALL THAT FOR A LOOSE CONNECTOR.

I also failed smog about 2 weeks ago because of the bad ecu. The smog tech said everything passed but the ecu keeps deleting everything. But after i secured the connector and drove it 50miles non stop, the car passes smog with flying colors.
