ES1 civic help needed URGENTLY!!

[Primera VVL]

Fellas I have a es1 with the d17 engine. Recently I started experiencing a problem whereby the car would be driving and just cut off. The first time it happened was when I was driving daylight and just flashed my lights to give a man a bligh to pass. There was no lights on the dash even when I tried starting back. After bout 2 min the dash lights just came back on and the car started normal and i went home. Then about a week after it happened again on the highway whilst driving. Car took about 5min then I got dash lights and the car started. Well last week it happened again but this time it never started back so I just towed my baby home and it has been there since. The battery is brand new and fully charged I had it checked. Anyone can advise me on what should I check or know any good Honda specific electrician that may be able to help. At present when i turn the ignition key no dashlights and car just dead like it have no battery. Thanks....

also does the car have a immobilizer ?

I think I had the same problem with my ES once, I went to autonation and Andy changed the speed sensor, after that it worked fine. They would also do a diagnostic scan to see whatever else could be causing the problem.

[extremehonda]

I guess it could be the crank sensor, when a diagnostic is done you would know for sure.

But would the crank sensor cause you to get no current in the car.. Nothing like if the battery has been removed... The only thing I am getting is the hazard lights.

if you are getting nothing except hazards, start at your main fuse block and check for a broken/dodgy fuse or fuse link and work your way forward. problem may be as simple as an oxidised connection or loose contact, dont forget your '-' or grounding cable too.

had same problem with my ES when i had now bought it...... carried it back in to achievors, got them to replace the cam and crank sensors with NEW ones an den... boom.... problem solved. u should check those out, cuz trust me its a pretty dangerous thing, makes ur car cut off in the worst of places at time ( in the middle of a major four road intersection) lol
