turned the car to II and it looked like it had a flat battery, because gauges were very dim.

then I turned car off

Turned car on again then it gauges were normal. but car still turned off

Sounds like an electrical problem some where, anyone got any ideas???

So the problem with the ignition is gone now? But the cluster lights start to dim after 10 mins? Is that when the fans start to kick in? Check your ground wires? Do you have a voltage meter?
If so, sus out the voltage it is when the lights go dim.

The problem is back to square one now. I put the key on II and theres no lights on dash, I put the key between I and II and lights come up.

I'm checking every ground wire there is, every fuse I have, and I still can't find the problem.

Where I haven't check is my firewall area,
I'll check my sound system too.

More ideas please

Have you checked your ECU to see if its storing any codes?

i had the PGMFI relay issue in both my integras and soldering fixed it. my car was starting and then stalling sometimes, and more so in hot weather. it wouldn't hurt to pull out the relay and put some more solder on all the connections? :)

This is exactly my problem!

still looks like an ignition switch problem. did you put a new one in it, or second hand unit. Is there an aftermarket immobiliser wired into the ignition switch wiring ?

What he said ^, if it's ur main relay it'll stall, but not cut off all the lights.

Man I don't know how you do it over the internet, giving everyone the answer to their problem. It's great to have a guy like you here. I will personally gift you.

It was the ignition switch, what I did was got a 2nd hand barrel from my mates. The guy who sold me the first barrel was faulty, it was all rusted inside the barrel. But I cleaned it out, but the springs inside the white barrel were all rusted and when it was fitted, the key would barley move.

My close friend PHM91 from this forum hooked me up a DC2R igntion switch, he also did the wiring for me, with his mate.

After PHM91 wiried it up, the car would only crank, it wont start.

We checked all the wired, if they were connected properly or not.

Then this genius comes up, and looks at the main plug that plugs into the fuse box. 1 of the plugs were different, the wires were in a different area. Then what he did was re-arrange the wires so it matches the old plug, and then we plugged it in ---> cranked the car and my face was like this :D. it started.

I'll pictures up just for future reference. These do fault out after 10years or more. If your car is daily and use it lots, the life of these are very short.

Thanks everyone for their help.

This happened when I owned my integra ! My solution was the key barrel! $600 fix :(

you only have to change the Switch on the back of the barrel when this happens. should cost less than $600
