Goin to work and all of a sudden my R dies out. NO engine check light, Full tank of gas. I turn the key and the engine cranks. Fuses in engine bay okay. Car would not start like if I were to pull the ECU fuse. I towed it to the dealer and got a rental and went to work. Dealer calls me 30 miutes later and the car started, but they did not do a thing. Car is STOCK. I do have an Alpine alarm, but it will not arm if the car is started. Dealer notice that the alarm is aftermarket and would NOT run any checks. about 4 weeks back I left the car in the garage for 3 days cuz I went to Vegas and when I tried to start it, car cranked but would not start. I had to turn the key to the let the fuel pump prime for a minute then the car started just fine. I think its the full pump, but not sure.

 

Loose battery cable.

 

did any of the accesories work? this was a topic awhile back...how is ur ignition coil?

 

only one way to find out. Change the pump. But im with chris. Check the cables first

 

Fuel pump ground?

 

Accessories work and battery cables are fine. If I remember correclty, when the car began to sputter I hit the gas and npthing happened. The guy that put in the alarm had it wired for an ignition kill. He came out and disconnected that, just incase, but like I said before the alarm will NOT arm/activate if the car is on.

 

How would I check the ignition coil?

 

Fuel filter??

 

If the engine cranks and does not start, 9 ou of 10 is your fuel pump.. Unless Honda wants to get sue this time with their bad ignition recall (happened back in early 90's with their Civics), they should've gotten this worked out.

 

I second the fuel filter. My cousin's integra did the same thing. Changed the fuel filter and no problems since.
