1998 Honda Accord Car doesn't reconginize key or dies

Hi gallen17,

What do you mean by it does not recognise the key?

How do you know that is the problem?

the key light does not come on. when it does start the key light does come on. that is how i know is will start. any clues? thank u so much for reading my question.

Since so many different key has been used, it should not be due to the key.

The other thing likely to cause the problem would be the immobilizer receiver unit, mounted at the ignition switch assy. You would have to get that checked.

I have sent some info to you. Hope they are helpful.

Thank u, I will look at the information you sent. It is more than I have had to go on. I really appreciate your time and will let you know how it turns out. God bless and have a great evening.

Gallen17,
I'm noticing the same issue with my Accord. I was also thinking that the "chipped" key was the issue, I'm also thinking that a bad computer is also a possibility. I'm completly stumped. I've changed main relay, distributor(including coil & ECM), fuel pump, and the ignition switch and still no start. I feel as though that the issue is something so simple that I have overlookied it. If you, or anyone else, have any info or leads I would appreciate it much.
