ok so i'm having an issue....

[Dtackett]

Ok so I turn the key to start my car and it turns over and starts fine, so long as I hold it just before it grinds the starter. If I let go it dies like I turned the key to accessory. I think its the ignition switch. I have to get this fixed ASAP so please quick responses.

Ok so the ignition switch assembly is 200$ and I don't have that (if its that) so I'm thinking of installing a push button ignition with a hidden toggle switch for the power. If its that does anyone got any tips?

 

[Dtackett]

No body has any advice on this?

got mine at the junkyard for 35 bucks....

 

[Dtackett]

Was yours doing the same thing?

 

[92gsrboy]

no i had another issue...but thats the cheapest place you can get one....

Or you can go and get it at a local Honda dealership. Up to you. Junkyard would be the best price. I would not suggest a engine start button.. those are just so not worth it. Keep it OEM. If you have more things in your car that are unnecessary, you'll have more problems in the near future.

I got mine from Advance for like $60. Works just fine.

If you are dead set on a push button I can give you a simple write up on how to do it. Will cost you about $20.

Starter teeth are fine, it has nothing to do with the starter. It's the ignition switch assembly.

I am debating on the starter button, and like the idea of it. I'm all about customization. Oem means that you have the same as everyone else. To me, its not my car until I make it my car.

I have a few write UPS I've looked at but I won't deny another one.

I might be able to give you a DIY on an S2k starter button after I do it tomorrow.

the electrical part goes bad. just remove the clam shell and unscrew the elctronic part from the ignition lock. and and unplug it .. the junkyard is the best place to go.. but you might get lucky if you take it apart and spray white greese into the electronic part and work it around.. its worked for me several times at the shop. quick and easy fix. but sometimes the metal connectors get bent inside and stop making contact.
