Damn it, Wont start!

[lil_dcb7]

ok, I've never had this problem before...

I went to start her today, and it well wouldnt. I turned the key and you could hear it trying to start, but it wouldnt completely. let it sit for about five mins, I tired three more times. On the thrid time, it srtated, but only for about 2 seconds then conked out. No I know i never "flood" the car, because i always start cars with my feet out, so its not like I accidentally pressed the pedal.
Dad says it never happens to him, so he pretty pissed thinking that I flood it.

Another thing is that i had an alarm installed in it a like 2 months ago, recently (when this problem started happening ,its been going on for like a week and a half) I've noticed a little switch connected to a red and black wire hanging out of the dash. The time before last it wouldnt start, this tiny switch was sticking out, so i tucked it under the dash. after I tucked it in, the car refused to start. So this time, Im thinking its some sort of a kill switch. so, i play with the button and the remote, get a few beeps, now. the only thing the alarm does is unlock the car. I am screwed if I dont get this to work, AND fix the not starting problem. If any one can help, I'd greatly appriceate it

try startin the car while pressin the switch back and fwd constantly until it starts.. do it WHILE YOUR TRYING TO start IT

Turn the key to the on position and flip the switch, you should get a solid red light from the L.E.D. from the alarm that means its in Valet mode and the alarm is disengaged, atleast on most alarms. If that doesnt work could be anything if its cranking over but wont start, Distributor, Injectors, Relays, no fuel. Im not a mechanic but I do know alarms.

Well, the car is acting alright and starts but it'll be sooner or later that it wont start again, I'll take a look at the fuel pump etc later,

BUT the alarm still wont work, i turned the key and tried to take it off valet mode and well, it still only locks and unlocks the car. Here's what I do:

Turn the key to the ON position,
Reach down and press the button/switch three times
Three beeps come from the alarm horn
I push the ARM/DISARM button on the remote and I guess I'm at a menu,
I guess it has 4 settings, because for each time i press the arm button, that number of beeps comes from the alarm. STILL cant get it off valet, STILL get the steady LED light. AND no protection. Damn, if you could help me out, ill buy you lunch or something bro

[lil_dcb7]

yeah, all the engine stuff is fine, i just gotta get a tune up soon and make sure the fuel stuff is working properly,

i still cant get the alarm off valet mode! I dont like that thought that my car has alarm but isnt being protected by it. bump, any one?

ok, fixed the alarm problem...

but the car still wont start sometimes, It might be the main relay.
After waiting an hour or so, the car started, but then started smoking like a bitch. Does that have anything to do with the main relay? If it is, do I need a new one?

sounds like something in ur gas tank if it smokes like a bitch, or just really cheap ass bad gas
try getting some bp 93 oct and putting the bosch platnuim in it. and stay away from shell gas with a honda it creates build up

and you wont flood a fuel injected car by hitting the gas onyl buy cranking and cranking, on and off ignition
if you want to try a new relay i got plenty of them here $10
