Ignition switch? These are known to have a 'lifespan' on Hondas.
I had to do my switch as this happened.Quote:

If the car isnt cranking, then id say its something else. Or something else along with the IGN switch possibly.. When you switch the ignition to "ON" do you have any dash lights? Thats a quick giveaway.
Also, check your fuel filter as well as the pump. Although if your getting no fuel and no spark it sounds more likely to be an electrical issue to me.
Check your main PGMFI relay too, theres a DIY for it in the DIY section.
Did you check all your fuses? Not only the underhood fuses, but check all the fuses underdash too.
need more info, like what is it actually doing when your trying to start it.
Did you check the fuel pressure when you said there is no fuel to car?
Do you have electrcity to car?
Do you have fuel in car?
What was the last thing you did to the car?
When my ignition switch failed the car would crank fine, it would even start and the engine run while cranking (i.e. with the key held on 'start'), but as soon as I let go of the key (i.e. to 'ignition') it would die.Quote:

Spot on, so did mine and i ended up killing my starter motor by doing it too much oops lol :oQuote:

could it be a short circuit somewhere in the wiring? this car was converted from carby to efi. if that helps mayb?

i check over all the wirering there was some exposed wires im guessing it did short circuit, fuel relay works fine now, fuel pump turns on, change ecu and engine cranks but engine doesnt turn over, i think its the timing belt probly have to change it
timing belt doesnt need to be changed ..Quote:

its doubting belts will slip.
dont start changing things, cause youre gonna end up wasting money.
spend more time on diagnosis, and try everything possible and connected with the ignition/initial start up system.
engine cranks but doesnt start, so battery voltage, starter motor and ignition switch is fine.
just do it step by step and eliminate anything that is working.
Have you checked your sparkplugs??
