Car starts then turns off

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

here is a DIY http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...ch-Replacement

Lol yeah I figured this was the case in my opinion but the car was quite a distance from home when it stopped working so the nearest mechanic got some work lol and I got a new set of keys for my Honda

What year is your VTIR?

I got the same issue, I got an ignition switch from the wrecker for $45, only thing is i don't know which year of GSI manual its from.
it also has 97.3.21 on it, i assume thats the year etc so hopefully its the right one for my 94 VTIR
I've comparied it with ones on ebay but it has two extra black bits sticking out, theres a pic here if anyone can help me figure it out what they are: http://members.optusnet.com.au/a11an/ignition.JPG

wanna make sure i got the right bit and it'll work before i start messing around.

Yo man,

Mine is a 97 VTiR. Theres 3 different ignition switches around, 1 for GSi Integra, 1 for VTiR Integra, 1 fore ITR DC2.

I used mine from a 01 DC2R, only issue was the main plug that connects onto the relay, the wires were in different areas, but thats easy fix, all my mate did was change wires around

See the white piece plastic, just take it out with a long nose pliers, then take out the wires

Then, have a look at your plug on the relay, try and match the wires so it plugs and makes contact. Colors of the wires should be the exact same.

This is the 2nd plug, it was exactly the same as my VTiR one, so I didn't need to move around

Just check in case though, if you install this new plug and it just cranks and doesn't fire up, then definetly wires need to be changed around.

If you get a VTiR one they should be the same, but check.

Other than that anything else let me know, I'll check on this thread regulary.

Good luck

BTW the extra black plug looks like from its something else apart from the ignition switch, probably dont even need it. Unless the other car had some hard core aftermarket stuff on it.

Thanks, I tried just replacing the white bit but didnt help.
So I swapped it and it got worse, didn't start at all.
So I cut the big black thing off and it connected the wires that ran through it together and it was sorted!
Very how this is a common issue where the wires just go.

Yeah I did the same, just replaced the white barrel and it worked for abit, but then normal problem started back to square one!

Very common man, pretty soon every integra older than 2000 will start to getting it.
