Default Trouble Starting...

Ok well i have a 92 civic hatch cx with a b18 swap...uhmm this started happening like 2 days ago...when i put the key in the ignition and put the clutch down and try to start my car...nothing happens at all...no lights...no struggle to start...nothing at all works....if i wait a little bit after it will start...( I tried it like 2 times got out the car and came back like 2 minutes later and it started)...It only does this sometimes..Could this be my starter?Or may there be a loose wire in the ecu???Its weird that nothing happens at all...no beeping to tell me that my car door is open (you know when you stick the key in and if your driver side door is open you get a beeping noise) nothing...Battery maybe??? Please get back to me ASAP kinda worried since i have to comute to school and work thanks a lot....

Maybe ECU? :dunno: Don't think it would be battery. WHen it does turn over, does it struggle badly? I would think it was the starter, but if you're not getting any accessories, that leads me to believe ECU. I don't think it would be battery, b/c it then turns over. What about your alternator? Just throwing things out at ya. Good luck. Keep us posted.
