#61537 either check your battery or grounds thats what happened to me is the grounds killed it (not litterally) but you need every single one stationed on a good area or it wont even click or turn over...

i hope you put coolant in your radiator and oil in your engine? :)

solid cell can mean there is something wrong with your ecu. try an other one, p28 or p30.....

Honda service manual quote:

(Check engine light stays on Steady),The backup system is in operation.Substitute a known good ecu and recheck.If the indication goes away, replace the original ecu.

#61583 it wasn't the ecu, it was the ecu fuse, i have sorted that out, tried starting it, but no luck there's no currenct going into starter motor, i think it might be the driverside headlight loom as one of the wires from the starter connects on that loom, Amer
