My car will crank and be running fine and then it just cuts off and wont crank back until you take the key out and put it back in a few times. then it will run for a few more mins. does this have anything to do with the security? the green key light flashes when you crank it and again when you cut it off.

That is a key recognition problem. It happens more often with keys that have been made, but it can also happen with stock ones. It could be the key or the lock on the column, or it could even be the ECU. I have dealt with this myself, and spent a lot of money before having to take it to the dealer anyway.

SOURCE: 1998 Honda CRV stalls once it warms up then after

Also try the crv recall replacing the ignition mechanism where you insert the key. I have the same problem and was solved after reading about it in one blog.. it is free. It appears that it got shorted and will automatically kill the engine. after a while it will be cold again and you will be able to start the engine..

SOURCE: 2001 Honda Civic Key Green light keep flashing in the dashboard

Car not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.


To confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.

SOURCE: 1994 Honda Accord shuts off when brakes applied

The brake servo is working fine, this was my first thought but I disconnected it from the vacuum system and the car run fine for a while and then it started cutting out again, so it's not a vacuum problem. I reconnected the brake servo to the vacuum system and removed the fuse for the brake light switch, car runs fine, although no brake lights, I know that the brake light switch wires run to the horn and the ECM and TCM modules, I suspect there is a power problem when the brake light switch is activated, has any one else had the same problem?

I have a 96 Pontiac grand am we 2.4L twin cam the anti theft system kicked on but I followed the steps and reset it then it started coming back on reset ran fine then just one day bam died not like running...

the lamps you need to watch the lamps. they don't lie.
so now it dont start (but cranks)
the operators guide tells you what the lights mean, lost that.?
2 lamps are security or IMMOBILIZers have a lamp
  • off means OK
  • on means its bad ( locked out, )
  • flashing means that system is sick.
generally. got both lamps? look carefully.

IMMO kills engine, if car is tired to start. with wrong key. (and or fob)
security is theft alarm. and some cut spark others cut fuel other cut
some even cut cranking,
does yours crank?
or cranks ok but wont start.
no matter the lamps are FIRST> never last. never replace parts until you know what the lamps mean.

see this?

Passlock: System must detect proper R-code within ignition lock (or ignition switch) in order to start engine. Does NOT have chip in key.

look at the lamp, and do not dis believe it,

I am having the same problem. did you figure out what was wrong with yours. I have tested all of the wires in the harness under the dash, they r fine. I pulled off the starter and had it tested; O'rilies said it was fine. It is a 5 speed, and I can push start the car just fine any time. Like yours, some days my car starts, some days it doesn't. The days it starts, it runs fine with no problems starting or running. the problem is the days that it wont start.

2001 ranger wont start after sitting

check the fuel pump and see is working properly, if the pump is good than the problems will be the crank sensor is faulty. what crank sensor does it sense the turning of the flywheel and it send a single to ecu, and ecu send a flow of power to turn on the fuel pump as long it sense the flywheel turning.
