Hey,
Just wondering if I could get some pointers as to determining why my car wont start.
Just quickly, the car is a eg civic with b18cr conversion.
To give you an idea of what has happened:
Got home with the car at 6pm, go to leave at 8pm and the car wouldnt start. I'll describe the key positions as 1 and 2. On 2, the usual dash lights would come on, slightly faint, but they would turn on. One thing I did notice was that the interior light would not be on at this point. I turn it back to 1, and the interior light would come back on. I then go back to 2, and the fuel pump would turn on and everything would seem fine. Go to start the motor...and nothing.
This afternoon I had another try. I reset the ecu, and the dash lights would come on with full brightness, unlike previously. The radio would work, and at full strength, this gave me the idea that it wasnt battery related. I then roll started it down a hill, and it fired and started. I drove around for about 30-45 mins. Turned the car off, and then tried to start again, and nothing like before.
Any suggestions and what I should try next?
Thanks
