Default 1998 Accord V6 won't start

It turns over just fine, but it will not start
the drive light for the trans blinks, but no dice

the car is wrecked right now and i plan on buying it to fix if i can start it.
any ideas or links to info? i'd really like some links for more info on the car.

Thanks!

Wasn't there a recall on the ignition switch...if you haven't registered with honda.com typing in your VIN number I would recommend it, they will mail you discounts for scheduled maintanence and recall info too

Does it have the origional transponder key cause that is what it does when you don't use one of the appropriate keys.

thank you very much for the ideas

i believe it to be the correct key as it has the black plastic end with the honda emblem.


i'll check the shut off ASAP

thanks again!

we got it started today, turns out that the battery was busted up in the accident and must have been shorting something out. we disconnected the positive side of the battery and connected a jumper pack and it started right up.

thanks for the help!
