My 2002 accord ex 4 door 4 cyl vtec cranks, but doesn't start. Initially it wouldn't even turn over, but after installing a new starter it turns over.
Checked an there is spark...
Replaced main relay...
I can't hear the fuel pump, but I don't ever remember hearing it in the past either.
Please, someone tell me I'm stupid and what I'm overlooking!

 

Ok, sprayed either into the air intake and the motor kicked off for a second when I cranked it, so its a fuel problem... I am wondering if the ECM (computer) is not allowing injectors to open? I recently replaced the ECM and had it programmed, the car ran fine after being programmed. So I trust that its not an error.

However it could be the immobilizer? What could have triggered that? Should I attempt to get around the immobilizer or how do I trace the problem? When I plug in a computer it simply tells me that the ECM has "no error codes stored..."

Currently I am wondering if perhaps the RFID antenna for the immobilizer (#17) around the key cylinder in the steering column is perhaps loose/dirty/corroded:

Take a look at this thread, specifically the part about the fuel pump relay.

What does the "green" key light look like when you turn the car on?

 

@Ronin1 - I have checked the relay... even replaced it once, but not the problem.

@poorman212 - the green light does not appear however I suspect that the problem still might have something to do with that...

 

Is it possible that you are using a different or freshly cut key?
Looks like the ECM does't recognize the key!

 

ok, found the problem. Yes, it wasn't recognizing the key, because I had replaced the drivers side fuse box. Apparently this box works hand in hand with the main computer (ECM) and I would need to "reprogram" the computer perhaps in order to use a replacement fuse box?

 

 

Hello I am unable to start my 2000 honda accord - see picture - i had checked fuse, replaced fuel relay, replaced fuel pump but it still does not start - see picture - i can find the green light - see picture any suggestions - thank you

 

I would suggest starting a new post as there are a bunch of questions to ask such as : does it crank? have you checked spark? is there fuel? if you wiggle the key will it start? Not enough information on what you have done to offer any advice yet.
