Default Civic wont start...

Hey guys, so the other day i came back from wal-mart and parked my car at home. Car was still running and before i turned it off the car turned off on its own. I have a kill switch connected in between the fuel pump and main relay. i tried cranking it back on and nothing. i switched ignition to ON position and the fuel pump is not whinning. So i replaced the fuel pump, nothing. Thought it might of been the Main Relay. Replaced it and nothing. What can it be? i did my research and someone told me about the thermostate housing ground maybe the issue or maybe a ground somewhere. PLEASE HELP....

ok to be more clear, just checked the car, on the ON position theres no clicking noise from the main relay nor do i hear the fuel pump whinning..what can it be? im going to check the grounds tomorrow and check the ECU if theres any error codes. Any other suggestions?

it will be hard to determine the issue via teh interwebz.

try removing the killswitch, and start building it back from point A to point Z. more than likely it'll be an issue with the ks itself and how it's setup.

Hey guys, #24 Fuse was blown and ECU Fuse was blown...everything is good up and running now...so basically check your fuses 1st before going any other route...i read the Helms Manual and i read the key word "Battery Voltage" at the fuel pump connector, and since i found it odd that it only had .70 i checked the fuses and found the problem...btw i'll be starting a build thread shortly so u guys can see my 4 door in progress...it'll be a 56k in progress due to me being unemployeed at the present time but it'll be in the works...thanks again guys
