When i done mine it took me 40min with an alarm with the works auto start and all. But then again i know what i am doing when it comes to electronics. Otherwise its basically just plug and play

Cam angle sensor, Crank angle sensor!? Have you flashed your codes or got someone with a Honda Scantool to check your codes???

This may help: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8218

might not need to replace ...

try to pull it apart and clean it with wd40 and wet & dry sandpaper .. all the contact surfaces and stuff and put it back

i did mine 2 months ago and no probs now ... b4 dat it was so bad it wont stay on .. it will jus switch off str8 after i turn the keys

takes abt 20 mins max

Ive had the same problem, however mine was the alarm/immobilizer playing up.

Verify that your battery is secure; including the terminal clamps. Really give it some moving, side to side and up and down to ensure contact.

Not the brightest of things to do. You'll soon realise that your brakes stop having much effect after a few pushes of the pedal when the car is turned off. Not very ideal if you need to stop in a hurry!

Your power steering also stops giving assistance aswell, but then again you know that already seeing as you do it 'all the time'...

i can recall four times, so idno where you pulled 'all the time'

im not a complete idiot by the way, i know the steets arnt the place to be doing stupid stuff in your car ie raceing, handbrakies, i learnt my lesson the hard way by rolling my car onto its roof. WHEN i do stupid shit i try to make shore that there is nothing that can cause adamage to any one or any thing.
if i do that little stund i never do it on a curved road or any thing like that, believe me i think before i do shit 90% of the times

i know its not the smartest thing to do, by hey wtf
