Honda wont start
Re: Honda wont start
Thommo nah...still dead.. Friend coming tomorrow to check through the circuits , there is no sign of life in the engine management relays and will also give it a tow.
Seloc has quite a thread on this prob but no specific answers...I still feel it is immobiliser related but I could be wrong....implication is that the imob system is incorporated in the Handata ECU in which case I'm flummoxed As I am still in the steam age. Could by pass the K series easily.
Waiting for suggestions from Martin E

FYI as far as I know the standard Honda immobiliser on the ecu is deactivated when the kpro is done as it requires a coded signal from the ignition key to work and so you don't have to have two keys to start the car this is switched off. I believe (can't remember for sure as it's been a long time since I have seen that car) but I think the original lotus meta immobiliser is wired into the fuel pump and crank circuits in the same way as the standard car so you should be able to bridge it out in the normal way. Hope that helps.

Re: Honda wont start
Clive,
That black box mounted on the front of the ECU is not the immobilizer unit, its the high frequency microwave unit, it detects movement inside the car and its range is adjustable with a small screwdriver through the hole at the bottom of the unit. The immobilizer unit should be mounted behind the drivers seat, As per the original exige mounting position.
Cheers Steve.

Re: Honda wont start
Steve et all thanks for comments
OK it started with a tow but wont re start on switch so seems to point to starter circuit or motor.?
Is it possible to access the starter connections without removing induction ?
Relays behind seat all work as far as I can tell.
May not be be an immob problem after all.
Getting there

Re: Honda wont start
Go to the immobiliser plug and bridge it out just like a k series car, if it's there. You really don't want to look where the starter is on sc Honda car!!
