no power in the honda :(

[greasemunkey]

hey guys I am in the process of swapping a b20b in the civic, when i pulled it out I was retarded trying to keep the car radio going while working and when I was undoing the alternator ground bolt it sparked and the power went off to the whole car, i didn't think anything of it till now when im close to start-up I have everything hooked up and still no power so I checked every fuse there is and replaced one blown one but still no power, any ideas??? I have another ecu ima try to hook up tomorrow and hook the battery up to a charger and see if it works in the morning, but I was just wondering if anyone knew what else it could be:thinking: , thanks

[mitch lab]

Check the battery fuse, if that's not the case than bring out a volt meter, try testing the ecu to see if it's getting power. Check wires too, just incase you melted some wires.

[Tech5]

Travis check your main FUSE its under the hood, its like a 80 amp fuse big fat fuse, its the one were your two battery cable wires screw on to the fuse block,

[greasemunkey]

yea man thats the one i replaced, its called like an A80 fuse, ima try to hook up the p06 ecu here in a minute

[greasemunkey]

fixed it, i put the fuse in the wrong place lol, thanks josh, I didn't take it out so I didn't know it was in the wrong place, also now when the keys are in and i turn the wheel my fuel pressure goes up and makes a sound like when you first turn the key and power cuts on it does it everytime i turn the wheel(no ps by the way), I don't have fluids in it except for tranny fluid and i only have 1 axle in half way so idk if its no fluids or what.

you're saying that when you turn the key to the "ON" position and mess with the steering wheel, it affects your fuel pump? :thinking: Or is this when the car is actually running?

[greasemunkey]

just on not running, i think it was just filling the fuel rail, it stopped already, btw just cranked it and it started right up

[ash7]

first thing you should ever do b4 working on a car unless its minimal is disconnect the neg terminal on the battery.

[j0nbunklah0m]

I think you nailed it right on the head with the title:

" no power in the honda"

I see the irony. Does anyone else? Later, QD.

lil baggies. baggies you can write on. put intake manifold bolts in one bag, bracket botls in another, etc... helps out VERY much.
