Last month or two, my car has not started two random times. The first time it started after a couple tries, had me worried, the second time, it wouldn't start! And, I was in the middle of nowhere. It cranks , so it is not the starter. All accessories, lights work fine. NOt the battery. I thought maybe fuel pump? Or ignition? This guy was sittin in his truck nearby, so I went over to him, and asked if you know anything about engines man?, He shows me a picture of a modified Crx! He came over and checked it out with me. He says either no fuel or spark. So, coil is bad or fuel pump, or..... he got in and tried to start it...he joggled my clutch and removed the key and waited a few seconds and it started! He says it is the clutch sensor that has gone bad. He is goin to let me use the diagnostic computer hook up OBDII, if I go to his shop. Which is cool, he showed me where it is in our cars that it hooks up, down near the dash and center console. Well, I searched and did not find anything exactly about this. Does anyone have this problem to ?? I will let you know after I get the diagnostic. I still think God must of let that dude be sittin there in the truck! I was in the middle of nowhere, and it would have sucked to leave my civic there, there probably would be no wheels left, and stripped bare, if I left it! God rules! Any insight on this ya'll? Thanks.

Sounds like its your Immobilzer. All you need to do is watch the green Immobilizer light. If its flashing when your trying to start your engine, your engine wont start. Here's what you do:

-Take the key out. wait a couple of seconds and put it back in.
-Turn it the ACC position and wait a couple of more seconds, this will give the fuel pump time to pressurize the fuel system. The Immobilizer light should flash off, if its blinking, repeat the above steps.
-Start your car.

No, you dont need a new one. Its just something that happens occcasionally when it cany read the chip in the key.
