I will try and review the logs later this evening - perhaps even try some logging of my own from my logging tool. You are running the standard management I take it?

You said H22a5, generally the 99 and onwards (mine was a V reg) is the h22a8 engine, not that it makes much difference for diagnosing.

I can't recommend any as that's not my neck of the woods. If you can, purchase a compression tester and perform the test yourself. If the car runs fine when warmed up, then likely all your ignition components are in good working order (Especially since replaced, assuming you have tested both). I sus...

Ah just read you did a compression test. Have you done both cold and hot ones? Cold is probably most important. When you replaced the ignition coil, did you be sure to refit the tiny spring that links the coil output to the dizzy cap? It's so easy for it to fly off... Has the car had any other work ...

I would do a compression check first. If it's low consider checking/setting the valve clearances as a quick win. I'd check the air filter to see if any of it has been ingested, is ilthis the one that has the water proof sock thing inside the filter that sailor/Hans recently posted about getting suck...

I believe the 8th Gen civic wheel will fit (FN). I managed to find an eBay listing for one with such a decent picture you could count the splines - which I then purchased. However, further inspection reveals the airbag module in the 8th Gen civic is a dual charge type (it has 2 charges, a smaller on...

If it was the immobiliser, you would have the flashing key icon on the dash. I would check the fuel cut off switch (inertia cut off), press the top down. Then I'd check the relay and the associated fuses. A more likely failure is the distributor, if the ECU doesn't sense the engine cranking via rota...

There was a thread in a sticky somewhere with a gates part number, as they are hard to track down... I recall someone had to get them from the states.

Is it related to the alignment do you recon? Do you recon perhaps they damaged your car or did something really stupid?

Steering wheel 15degrees off center and a strut that wont compress sound suspiciously related...

Or was this evedent before the alignment?

as you've removed the shock and the arms move freely, you can rule out the arms bushes (I had the same issue on the rear, completely seized metal bush in the strongflex PU bushes, could hold the entire weight of the car purley through stiction). The shock must be completely seized up, what happens i...

Normally the failure is in the barrel switch if its failing to come on or start, or in the aftermarket alarm systems. I don't think anyone has actually had a failure of the transponder/immobiliser system. If you have used the red key at all you may have 'removed' all your working keys and will need ...
