integra not kicking over

[rmalov]

hey

i got a 98 integra vtir and only sometimes when i turn the key nothing happens dosent kick over no sound what so ever comes out at all i noe its not the battery,could it be one of the coils or something with the alternator? i wait about 5 seconds and then it will start this only happens like once or twice a week.

does any1 know what the problem could be

your immobilizer could be faulty

[bennjamin]

if the engine wont turn over its a starter motor issue. Faulty solenoid or connection or slowly failing - get it looked at by a auto electrician or mechanic

i dont think its the imoblisor because wen it is on, the car still makes a noise when the key is turned but it dosent start, this makes no noise when the key is turned its like nothing happens at all, where abouts is the starter motor in the engine bay??

[bennjamin]

when you turn the key - 1 , 2 3 clicks the ECU light will go ON then OFF again. You will hear a noise from the back (like a DUUUUUUURRRRNNNNN noise) thats the fuel pump priming. Chances are its teh starter motor failing. its located underneath your intake arm and distributor. If you dont know what it is i strongly suggest you take it to a mechanic to check, the starter is directly connected to the battery and can give you a big ZAP

Mine is 99 a model does a similar thing every week or three. I turn the key, all accessories and dash lights turn on including fan for air vents but no engine bay noise at all. I pull out the key and back in again, and works fine.

I always thought it may be the factory immobiliser not talking to the key chip properly.

weird aye

[A-man]

i rekon its the immobiliser

does it click from the engine bay??? if it clicks from the engine bay then its more then likely the contacts in the starter motor... however if it doesnt click... immobiliser...

when the starter motors go it wont work most the time itll work hardly ever then not at all...

this is y im saying immobiliser

[rmalov]

nothing clicks at all, there is no sound comming from anywere when i turn the key. could be the imobbliser then ??

[A-man]

yeh disconnect it and the prob should b gone....

[JasonGilholme]

chances are its the main relay.

Unplug the relay and see if it produces the same results that you're gettin.

[A-man]

it wont b the main relay... it doesnt have anything to do with the starter motor

[JasonGilholme]

tried starting your car without it??

You'll get electrics but nothing will fir up. THe starter motor wont even click.

if no accessory lights go on when its in the on position then i think your ignition switch is failing. If there are lights on then it could be many things maybe immobilizer?
