I didn't think about electrical grounds. Thats a very good point. So where are you at now with problem solving?

Btw, saw this in my email today:

Why did you get an email today about a thread I made months ago?

As for my trouble shooting status:

Unfortunately I had to have the car towed to positive. I could not leave it where it was because its not my house, I don't have the time to keep going down there to work on it and I couldn't jack it up where it was and I wouldn't be able to get it into my garage at my house since my driveway into my garage is a fairly steep hill. Bill is hoping he can start looking at it today around 3, even if he does I have a feeling it will be there a few days, as the problem seems to be far from obvious.

Who knows its the 8thcivic newsletter. And keep us updated, I'm eager to know what it is (as I'm sure you are too)

Ok well I really thought it was a ground issue after some research yesterday. I just got off the phone with Bill and he doesn't think its a ground issue, he does think the grounds should be changed, but doesn't want to make me spend an hour or so of labor on that when he doesn't think it will fix the true issue, which is the inability to communicate with the ECU. He isn't sure yet why he can't, he can communicate with every other system. So he's going to do some more tests I guess and see where it gets him. I wish I could have figured out the grounds stuff before deciding to tow it yesterday morning, and just have tried the grounds myself last night just to eliminate something from the equation.

NVM, found it.

NVM, found it.

What was it? Electrical?

[aLmk]

Haha no I found the newsletter.

So it will not start after turning it off? Sounds like a fuel issue to me, will it not even make a noise? could of fried some wires, check all the regulators.

[aLmk]

It actually shut off while driving. The ecu cannot be communicated with.
