HELP! My car doesn't want to start anymore.

I started the car as usual. All of a sudden the electronics of the dash started to play up and my car decided to turn off by itself.

When I put the key to position "ON" the fuel/temp gauge and warning lights usually lights up. Now, they don't. When I try to fire the ignition, the car would start but will switch off straight away. During that period when the car would start (just before it switches off), my gauges and warning lights come on.

I have tried to reset my ECU. I have checked the fuses on the bonnet but not the ones inside the cabin. Neither of these techniques helped.

I will check the fuses inside tomorrow as it is dark now.

I was hoping if anyone ever experienced the same problem and if so, how was it fixed? Or if anyone is familiar with this sort of problem. I appreciate greatly any helpful response.

I don't really want to go to a Honda dealer as I know that they will charge me heaps of $$$. Also, my car is an import and not a local delivery. And therefore, they will use that as an excuse to charge me the extra $$$.

My car details is as follows:
92 Honda Prelude (4th gen)
Si VTEC (import model)

As I said before, any useful input on this dilemna is greatly appreciated. So please, help a fellow Preluder in need.

Thanks.

(sorry for the long explanation.)
