Hi guys im new to this forum lol so first of all hi:D

lol 2nd.. iv got a problem iv got an ek vti-r civic and it wont start
im thinking ti si the immobiliser, iv changed the battery in the remote to no effect.

basicaly yeah the car wont turn on when i try use the immobiliser. i can jump start the car so i dont think it is the started motor or antyhing.

anyone know what it could possibly be?

if you can jump start the motor then its pretty much 90% positive that you have a flat battery.if it was imobiliser then you wouldnt be able to jump start

check ur battery:
if is more than 12.6 volt when the car is off then is good, but u need to check the voltage when the car is start for changing, (chage voltage is > 13.5 volt)
if its too low, get a new battery....

if its the immobiliser the car will jus make a clicking sound.

i'll say its the battery. from my experience charging the battery its jus a tempory fix, it'll get flat again very quickly mabye 2weeks. jus invest into a good NEW battery

clicking noise with a constant click, click, click, click very fast means that it will be your battery
its your starter solenoid and the battery doesn't have enough power to switch it
