Car wont start, after installing turbo kit? (Integra GSR)
 
Hello everyone. The car has been sitting in my driveway for about 3 weeks now, and have not started the car ever since. I am about 90% done with my installation (only missing the downpipe and the dumptube), and today, I wanted to start the car so I can actually see my hard work paying off... and to my suprise, the car wouldn't start. Now, I don't think its the battery because my horn work fine, and my cd player plays music loud, and my 12" speaker is still hitting hard... so what could this problem be? Bad starter? Any suggestions? Thanks guys!

Just cause your music plays doesn't mean the battery isn't dead....it takes alot more just to turn a car over then to make some speakers vibrate a little bit

I do have gas (about a quarter tank), the car is not turning over.. it doesnt sound like it is trying to start, when I turn the key, the car makes no sound, and when I turn the key back to remove it from the ignition, it makes the little chirp sound. any ideas, suggestions??? I did not mess with my distributor or spark plug wires

hit your starter with something hard. seriously. it is a temp fix if it is not to far past dead. try hookig some jumpers up to make sure you have enough juce. if you got nothing start with a new starter. it is getting colder out now and that is when all of my starters seem to go up like the first cold days of the seson or snow fall.

did you unhook your battery before unplugging the ecu and putting your basemap chip in? if you did then it might not be getting a good connection, so go try to tighten it down or maybe its just dead.
