car imoblized itself
to start off ill let everyone know its an 04 with 102k on it.
after i got home from work today i decided i was going to reattach my lip to my front bumper. it fell off. after doing that i came inside to cool off and let the car sit in the driveway for an hour or so. then just a few minutes ago i went out to pull it out of the driveway. when i went to start it i noticed that all the lights on the dash were lit and the light with the key inside the car was blinking really fast. i tried to start it and nothing, no click like a bad starter, no slow start like a dead battery. just nothing. now its sitting in the street after me pushing it and still wont start or turn over or anything. any ideas on what i can do to try and get it to start or should i call a tow truck and let the dealer fix it? |
maybe is the factory alarm go use the key to unlock the car door and try to start again.
|
i tried that it didnt work
|
what happen did you leave the key in the ignition or you leave the car running??
|
Sounds like a dead battery.
|
maybe you need to reprogram your key, try your other key and see if it work.
|
nope battery is fine tried jumping after initial no start and still nothing. if it was a dead battery the radio wouldnt play and nothing would light up. if i had another key i would have tried that but when i bought the car it only had the one key. i got tired of messin with it so its on a flatbed heading to the closest dealer(the service manager hates my guts there but oh well)
i did have the radio playing while i was working on it but i only worked on it for like 30 minutes so i know i didnt drain the battery that quick and it would have jumped or made a click sound when i tried to start, but it didnt. |
good luck with your car
|
yeah i think im gonna fix my honda and park the 8 for a while
|
Try tow-starting it
|
i tried to push start it and it didnt work
|
^^ Maybe you didn't get it up to a high enough speed by pushing it :dunno:
Do the dash lights dim when you turn the key? Have you tried disconnecting / reconnecting the battery? Have you tried resetting the ECU? ---------------------- Quote: (can't remember who, sorry) There are a couple of procedures and consists of two phases. Step 1: Warm up your car Step 2: Turn it off, take out the key. Step 3: Put the key back in, turn it to the ON position but do not start the car. Step 4: Step on the brake pedal 20 times or until you see your oil pressure gauge sweep up and back down. Step 5: Take out the key. PHASE ONE COMPLETE! Step 1: Put the key back in. Step 2: Hold down on the Trip Meter Reset button (DO NOT LET GO) Step 3: Turn the ignition to on, do not start the car. Now, the Trip Meter should read TEST. Step 4: Turn off the car and take out the key. Step 5: START THE CAR. Drive around for about 15 minutes s ------------------------------ These may or may not work, I dunno. Just trying to think of some easy options for ya |
... and have you checked your fuses?
|
yes, check your fuses. particularly the EGI fuses.
|
Double check your battery. I had the exact same issue once.. was about to get car towed to dealer but then the tow truck driver told me it was my battery.. he was correct.
|
It turns out the PCM fried itself somehow
